Why not use pdksh, which comes with Red Hat and most other Linux distros?  
It's close enough to written-by-David-Korn ksh that only an insane person
would know ksh well enough to spot the differences ;-)

Barring that, the problem is that the spec file in the openpkg SRPM contains 
a line

Class: CORE

which standard RPM doesn't recognize (openpkg extends RPM in some 
non-backwards-compatible ways). Unless you want to go deeply down the 
openpkg route, you're probably best off just getting ksh from David Korn's 
site and packaging it yourself...

later,
chris
