IMO, on an rpm-based system, there is no such thing as a "good tarball
install." :)

What?  It's nothing of the sort.  It's simply misconfiguration.  It's
your job as the sysadmin to add the library paths for software that
you install outside of rpm.

As far as the errors you get when running pfmon, I can't help.  I
don't run it.
