It *is* very easy: - Copy the awn tarball and the specfile from that web page to /usr/src/packages/SOURCES - Change to that directory and call 'rpmbuild -ba'. This will build both the binary and the source rpm and will place the resulting binary package somewhere below /usr/src/packages/RPMS/ and the .src.rpm in /usr/src/packages/SRPMS. That way you get a rpm package compiled specifically for your system that, when installed, is registered with the system and easily removable.
