If your distributer doesn't have updated packages in it's repositories, you'll have to either find unofficial packages, build yourself or switch to a distro that does. Can't offer anything more specific since I don't even know which operating system you're running?

If you can, download and install apt and it SHOULD be able to handle that for you.

I wonder downloading tarball archieves and compile it is the good thing than rpm.

i gotta warn you compiling takes forever. and don't compile or install as root also i gotta suggest using konstruct to download/build/install. just go into the folder kdebase and type "./configure" then "make install".. that should install it at /home/"yourname"

I wouldn't install from the original sources unless you need a custom setup or you're using something like Slackware that doesn't have RPMs. For something like KDE (and especially GNOME), there's a lot to compile, so it gets to be really time consuming.

Since there aren't any packages available for your specific distribution, I would honestly suggest just sticking to the version it comes with until Mandriva makes updates available.

If you like to stay up to date without hassle, a different distribution using apt-get or a ports-like setup that updates frequently would be better.
