Correct. This one probably wouldn't even work on Fedora 8 or Fedora 9,
it's specific to Fedora 10. The distribution-specific RPM's will have
dependencies on versions of packages that come with that distribution.
Try to use it on a different distro and you will get unsatisfied
dependencies.

Or find an RPM that is for your distribution.

But if you do compile from source, it will be up to you to find out what
-devel packages you need. The configure/compile/link process will
probably turn up errors that are due to missing header files (.h) or
missing library files (undefined symbols and so forth). Installing the
proper -devel package will normally provide the missing files, but it's
not always obvious which -devel package you need to fix a given error.
Google searches can help here.
