This may sound silly, but some of my friends can't work it out either.

Whenever I use rpm to install something, it never installs, for example:

[root@localhost davluong]# rpm -ivh gtk+-1.2.8-1.src.rpm
warning: user otaylor does not exist - using root
warning: group otaylor does not exist - using root
warning: user otaylor does not exist - using root
warning: group otaylor does not exist - using root

warning: group otaylor does not exist - using root
   1:gtk+                   ###########################################
[100%]
[root@localhost davluong]# rpm -ql gtk+-1.2.8-1.src.rpm
package gtk+-1.2.8-1.src.rpm is not installed




This occurs with all rpm's..  So what I've had to do is use alien to convert
it to slackware tgz format and manually make then make install it.

What am I doing wrong.
Appreciate all your help.
