That doesn't install the source package, however. (Actually, it does, but 
it then removes it.) If you want to install the source and make any 
changes, etc. then 'rpm -ivh tuxracer-0.61-19.src.rpm' is perfectly 
correct. Source will be installed to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, and the 
specfile will be in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS

I'm reasonably certain that Elton's problem is caused by not having the 
rpm-build package installed. Installing it will set up the 
/usr/src/redhat/* directory structure. Additionally, even after 
installing the rpm-build package, his build will fail because he doesn't 
have a c++ compiler installed.

- From another of his recent posts:

Note the lack of the "gcc-c++" package.
