The simplest way to recompile for PPC is to get the source RPM (.src.rpm), put it in
/usr/src/redhat/SRPMS and do:
rpm --rebuild something-1.0-1.src.rpm
and if the build process succeeds (some RPMS have limited platform support), you can:
rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/ppc/something-1.0-1.ppc.rpm
and that's it!
If the source for the program only comes in .tar.gz format, then 'tar xvzf' it and run ./configure, then 'make' and 'make install'
usually will do the trick.
