I haven't tried the source versions of RPMs, but here goes anyways. You have to build the RPM first. I'm not sure what manager you use, but at least in command line version of rpm you can do this. As i'm not on linux currently i can't check the command, but read the manual on rpm (man rpm). I think the switch is --build (might also be -b or -B), so the command could be "rpm --build sourcerpm.src.rpm"

To build a source rpm

rpm --rebuild package_name.src.rpm
