The src.rpm's are the source, but they are for RPM's, not tarball or manually configuring/installing. All you would be doing is installing the src.rpm, then rebuilding that rpm for *your* system then installing it. You probably could just get the whatever-src.rpm and rpm --rebuild whatever-src.rpm and I *think* that rebuilds and installs it for you. Or, if you just rpm -ivh whatever-src.rpm, cd to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and rpm -ba whatever.spec and that will build it for you and put new rpm in /usr/src/redhat/RPM/i386 or i686. Then just install that rpm. As far as if you have to uninstall the other, at least in this situation, not sure. You could probably maybe rpm -Uvh whatever.rpm --replacepkgs which *should* let you install over top the other one. Maybe someone else with more experience can elaborate on this if I'm off base or something. Mike
