kgpg-0.9.1-fix-libtool.patch.bz2
kgpg-1.0.0.tar.bz2

But now i don't know if must decompress this files directly and follow
the normal procedure (read the readme and install file and try to
install it) or there is special tools and procedures for RPM sources
once installed by rpm tool.

I will appreciate i you can help me. Thanks in advanced.

Once you install a source rpm, you can use rpmbuild -bb /path/to/specfile to build a binary rpm, then install that to have the running program. The spec file will install to /usr/src/RPM/SPECS/ The built rpm will be copied to /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/arch (usually i586). Make sure rpm-build is installed (urpmi rpm-build, as root), then see man rpmbuild.


However, you probably just need to get and install the binary. I see Texstar has such a binary. To get it, follow the instructions to add a texstar source at http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/ and install with urpmi kgpg
