Sorry, I had visitors before this reached me.

# rpm -i filename.src.rpm

Where filename reflects the package you downloaded. This will leave
a file /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/something.spec.

Edit this file to adapt version dependencies (the Requires line) for
your system and do

# rpm -bb something.spec

which will build the package and leave a installable binary RPM in
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/yourarchitecture/

Sorry about all the dumdiedums in this text but it's been a long while
since I've been on a RaQ.
