<div>Why not just install rpm2cpio? The stuff on slackbuilds is designed to run on a vanilla Slackware system, and therefore we make it so that you can build it out of the box without relying on external dependencies. Also, anything installed in a bin directory is usually executable to begin with, so even an installation of an external rpm2cpio should work with /usr/bin/rpmcpio

<div>Just out of curiosity, what reasons do you have not to want to install rpm2cpio?</div>
