I think these are rpm v3 files and apparently things need to be at least rpm
v4 these days. (quite why it isn't backward compatible for old rpms like
this I don't know, but there you go).
Someone did once do a conversion and send me the files but I never got round
to uploading them <guilt>.
As Nikita suggested you are probably better off trying his newer packages
(via alien), or some other rpm-prepared cross-comp packages.
