But it's not working. Just get rid of it. rpm -e saves files marked as
configuration files (eg /etc/samba/smb.conf) so if you had started
configuring things it won't be lost.

Since you didn't uninstall, the old swat version was found. If you had
uninstalled it wouldn't have found anything, because you haven't told
anyone where to start swat.

But as I said before, using the rpms is easier.

I can't point you to your local mirror, I can point you to mine:
http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/redhat/linux/rawhide/

And then get:
	SRPMS/SRPMS/samba-2.2.2-8.src.rpm
or:
	i386/RedHat/RPMS/samba-2.2.2-8.i386.rpm
	i386/RedHat/RPMS/samba-client-2.2.2-8.i386.rpm
	i386/RedHat/RPMS/samba-common-2.2.2-8.i386.rpm
	i386/RedHat/RPMS/samba-swat-2.2.2-8.i386.rpm

The advantage of the src.rpm is mostly that the binaries may not work if
your system is too different from the rawhide one (typically library
versions). That can be a problem for a src.rpm too, but they are usually
more tolerant.

Find a better mirror here:
	http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html
(the paths will be different up to the redhat part)
