Is there any other way to build a RPM package from tar.gz file?

thanx

have a look at "a rpm developper guide", you cannot just convert the archive to rpm...

The Maximum RPM guide may have some help on that.

I have Linux installed, now how do I do stuff like installing more software and other file managers?

Maximum RPM, as mentioned by fancypiper, is an excellent resource for all things RPM. The command that you will be wanting to use is called rpmbuild, read it's man page for details, it should already be installed on your system. The section in Maximum RPM that describes how to use rpmbuild will help you the most. You might at first find rpmbuild a little tricky, I did when I first started using it, but once you get your head around it, it's really is quite simple. You can use it to build an RPM out of any source code tarball. I use it for every program I want to install that doesn't already have a RPM for my system, or if I want to compile the app myself. Note also that most programs that you will ever want to build a RPM for, someone else has probably already written a spec file for it, so always do a quick search on the net for it's spec file, they can save you a lot of time.

ok thanx for everything that's help me a lot
