IMO, on an rpm-based system, there is no such thing as a "good tarball
install." :)

But when I built the kernel and rebooted to it and then tried to
build the utility itself, its Makefile included the correct links to
allow it to build. But the installed build could not then find its
libraries because the path to them was not in the working pathlist
for ldconfig. That seems almost like an immature attempt at vendor
lock in to me and leaves a bad taste.

What? It's nothing of the sort. It's simply misconfiguration. It's
your job as the sysadmin to add the library paths for software that
you install outside of rpm.

As far as the errors you get when running pfmon, I can't help. I
don't run it.
