If there is no version matching your OS on the download page, you'll either have to build it yourself from the source (compiling) or find a compatible version (e.g. Ubuntu is based on Debian, so many Debian packages work straight ahead ; I don't know about Mandriva and RedHat packages : maybe one of the Fedora Core versions works with Mandriva).

What do you mean by RPM packages : the ScummVM package or dependencies that it needs ?

I'm not familiar with RedHat packages. Doesn't the package manager used by Mandriva deal with dependencies automatically ?

If you're a Linux beginner, I'd advise you to check other distributions : maybe you'll find one that suits you better than Mandriva.
