redhat el6

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Can I add the package of the el6 distribution in fedora 18 ?
For example this one:
perl-Math-Integral
DAG packages for Red Hat Linux el6 x86_64

Thank.

a bad idea

RHEL6 is based of Fedora 12/13
consider to rebuild the src.rpm with "rpm --rebuild package.src.rpm"
after download it - if possible inside a virtual machine to not
need install tons of devel-packages on the working system

Thank for the information.
Now, what should I do for a norach package like:

perl-Math-Integral-Romberg-0.04-1.el6.rf.noarch.rpm

In my view, two options: if you need the rpm, then get the src.rpm and
build it. Otherwise, locate the perl-Math-Integral-Romberg source code
and install it?

errata

wrong:   rpm --rebuild package.src.rpm
correct: rpmbuild --rebuild package.src.rpm

there is not much more to say except "man rpmbuild"

boah "then get the src.rpm and build it"
so, and above i posted the wrong command for this

"Otherwise, locate the perl-Math-Integral-Romberg source code
and install it?" is not a smart option because it leads sooner
or later in troubles to install things outside RPM
