KDevelop RPMS file
I recently purchased Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 and am trying to Install the latest version of KDevelop. OpenLinux 2.3 shipped with KDevelop 1.0 Beta 1 in the "RPMS" format and I have successfully installed that. However, I would like to install the newer version 1.0Beta4.1. I have downloaded the kdevelop-1.0beta4.1.tar.gz file, but I am not having any luck getting that instaled and making it work. Is there an "RPMS" version of this installation available?
I'm new to Linux. The RPMS format makes the installation a breeze for a Linux novice.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

gunzip <filename.gz>
tar -xvf <filename.tar>
or tar has another option that lets you untar the gzipped files also. Check up man tar. This will let you use the current downloaded file.

To DVB,
Once I have the files unzipped and un-tarred, do I need to move the files any place soecial, or let the system/kernel know that they are there?
