7.1.2 will/should be out soon. Rather than searching out rpms that
may or may not work, why don't you try building from the source? The
instructions for doing it are very simple and you could probably do it
in your sleep. At least that way you'll know what you have and if you
still have problems you'll be starting from a known good starting point.
