I have been using rpms for quite a while now. I know that 1.4-2 works
with RedHat 5.0. 5.1 comes with 1.4.5-3. I got 1.4-2 from the
redhat-contrib directory. If it is gone now, I can send it to you. It
is only 790K (plus or minus depending on how you do your base 10 to
base 2 conversion :) ). I got 5.0 as soon as it came out. So, I had
to heavily patch and upgrade it per the erata sheet on redhat's home
page. However, my buddy got it a few months after I did and it
included all the patches. Anyway, the point is you might want to make
sure you have them all applied. When 5.0 came out it had /lots/ of
bugs in it. The 4.2->5.0 upgrade path was ugly.
