help with rpm

[Michael Johnson]

You're best bet for maya back-end is upgrading to 5.3-RELEASE, but 
anyways
You'll want to untar the TGZ files and install ports/archivers/rpm2cpio 
and use the following example
rpm2cpio FILENAME.rpm | cpio -id

Just curious, what version of maya are you trying to run?
