You can't, because the archives are tagged with a flag which requires them
to be installed directly - however, I don't think those need to be installed
at all, it looks like we already have linux versions of glib.

The other problems may be harder; I was totally unable to get some of the
RPM's to work unless /bin/sh was bash.
