Well the 'ls' command shows that the name of the file is "
gnorpm-0.96-12.7x.src.rpm " . Now he ran three commands:
$rpm -ivh gnorpm.96-12.7x.src.rpm ---- > file name is incorrect
$rpm -Uvh gnorpm-0.96-12.7x.src.rpm ---- > file name is correct
$rpm -i gnorpm-0,96-12.7x.src.rpm ---- > file name is incorrect
So two of them are incorrect . Elias does not seem to be in a habit
of using the 'Tab' key .

He is building the rpm from the source so he need rpm-build package .
I guess the .rpm package is not available on the internet ( I did not
search for it ) . I am not sure what development packages he will need
( gnome libs may be ) .
Elias, After installing the source rpm, it will create a .spec file in
/usr/src/SPECS/ directory. You will have to use the command rpmbuild (
man rpmbuild ) to create a .rpm file . you can google it and find a
lot of resources online.
