can anybody plz tell me what source rpms are about? is there a special procedure to installing them?

Source code , SRC.rpms are just that.

you have to create a directory
place  <package>.src.rpm    in it,
and in a terminl,

cd directory sources

rpm --rebuild <package>.src.rpm

If it's a big one and you want the errors messages pumped to a text file,

rpm -rebuild <package>.src.rpm 2> <pathtotextfile>.txt

you don't have to make a text file ,just name it and it will create the text file where you tell it.
