Your fighting a losing battle by trying to use old versions of mpls-linux. The easiest path is to use Fedora 8 with mpls-linux 1.961. If you choose to use something other then the RPMs I release then you are pretty much on your own. I barely have enough time to keep the RPMs up to date for fedora 8, I definitely do not have time to support every combination of linux distribution and mpls-linux version. I'm sorry.
