That's also a safe way to do it as long as root isn't used but you won't get any system integration such as kick off menus and integrated 
help. It can also leave files in your home that can cause problems in the future.

It won't help others it will only give you an rpm that integrates with the installation system and can easily be updated and removed. It's 
also easier than searching for and downloading a tarball and maybe having to take care of build requirements that aren't installed. It will 
also show whether the crash is a result of the package being built with packages that are different to those on your system.
