It 's a "src.rpm " (source rpm) which doesn 't get installed the normal
way. It 's just extracted like an archive. If you 've used root without
modifying your RPM configuration, find the extracted files below
/usr/src/redhat. Source rpms contains the source code and build scripts
needed to build binary packages.
Instead, you want to download the i686.rpm (or athlon.rpm, i586.rpm,
and so on) which would be a precompiled package.
