I'd add in the search RHEL<your release>, at least to start. Beyond that, some other distro, such as mandrake, may have compatible rpms.
No! Never use Mandrake RPMS on RHEL.
Never say never:
I have *successfully* used RPMS from both Mandrake and SUSE on a CentOS 4.x system. Both RPMs are somewhat specialized developemental ones though.
My advice for third-party applications:
Use RPMS from RPMForge repo.
If your app/lib/tool/whatever is still not available, go to
http://rpm.pbone.net, and make an advanced search for SRPMS in the following categories:
- CentOS 5
- RHEL 5
- FC 6
Note: sometimes, SRPMS from more recent versions of Fedora will also work, but that depends on what it is.
Have fun,
