"usually i can download the source and compile it but id still rather install from an rpm."

You can compile the source into a rpm and then install the rpm by using checkinstall:

Once you get checkinstall installed then the procedure for installing is:
su
./configure
make
checkinstall

Then install the resulting rpm.
