I don't know why you have that problem since I've installed RPM on a
non-Linux Unix system and it certainly doesn't need Openwin; it's just
a command line utility.

With Linux CDs as cheap as $8 + pp, it's hard to justify downloading
megabytes of distributions. But it's good to learn how to build from
sources too.
