Right now the viable options are to use the latest RPM version on
ftp.gnome.org, download the tarball and create your own RPM with 'rpm -tb
gnumeric-version.tar.gz', or contact me offlist for someplace to get the
gnumeric RPM that I've built with the above command (more or less).  RedHat
is trying to avoid having the gnome-print RPM floating around on peoples
systems because it's not finished yet, and so built a very custom RPM back
for gnumeric-0.38?.  So far, I haven't been able to justify taking time to
bring that RPM up-to-date, since I don't see having to install gnome-print
as being a problem.

P.S.  I don't just publish that site because I've got a fairly slow
connection, and I still want to be able to play Unreal Tournament at a
reasonable speed.  As for getting them on ftp.gnome.org, that's fallen
through the cracks a couple of times.
