    It should work. There are different groups who package RPMs.
    If you compile from source, you get the whole thing.
    Packagers will take the binaries, docs, libraries, etc. and
    put them in one or several packages which one can install via
    rpm, for example. Some sites will create, say, RPM packages
    themselves. Fedora will create their own packages. Others may
    package them, too. If things are nice (one package, or one
    for the binaries and one for "-devel" - i.e. the headers
    needed for compiling programmes agains the installed programme
    and its libraries) it probably does not matter which package
    one gets.

    If you get if from Fedora, you want whatever packages they
    use. You may find different packaging elsewhere.
