    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    You can use a tool called alien (should be available in the Debian repositories) to convert a deb to rpm. Converting between the two package formats does no guarantee that the resulting package will install or work on Red Hat Linux, so the best solution IMHO is to find a package built for Red Hat.

    I converted with alien, but the package provides generated dependency errors ... the rpm does not exist of course.

    I tried to compile the source code, but I have problems because there are commands in sudo.

    thanks
