Don't know red hat. With debian or mandrake you don't have to run an
install using rpm you just simply copy and paste those two files into
the plugin folder. I have done it many times and it always worked for
me. There is a readme file that tells what to do when you extract the
downloaded file in the temp folder, but red hat may be different?
