Oh... what do you mean? Rebuilding an src.rpm will eventually
generate a binary or noarch rpm...

The only way I know is you install that src.rpm via "rpm -ivh"
and it should extract it's spec file in the SPECS directory, and
source tarballs, patches, etc. in the SOURCES directory.
These rpm build directories should be in /usr/src/redhat if
you're on Red Hat, and /usr/src/RPM I think on Mandrake. You may
also redefine the location via %_topdir.
Anyways, all you need to do is take a look at the extracted spec ,
particularly the %files section. Once you're done "tweaking",
proceed on building the rpm with "rpmbuild -ba xxxx.spec".
BTW, posting the actual error logs here would surely help...
