Unfortunately, RPMs built for a given RPM-based Linux distribution generally don't
work with another RPM-based Linux distribution. Not even for 2 different versions
of the same distribution e.g. there is no guarantee that an RPM made for openSUSE
10.2 will work for openSUSE 10.3, especially when it contains binary objects (e.g.
*.so files). You might have more luck with the *.noarch RPMs though.
