Please also be aware that there is hardly ever a reason to compile from source, when using Debian.
What you *should* do is (as root): apt-get update apt-cache search <some thing> apt-get install <packagename> Finally: RPM's are for Red Hat installations (or RedHat-based/inspired). Installing an rpm on a Debian machine is a no-no as it can mess up the system in a bad way.
