Trouble installing 3ddesk on RH9.0


I saw a cool program for linux that Kevin Rose presented on tech tv about a week and a half ago... 3ddesk http://desk3d.sourceforge.net

But I'm trying to install this app on reh hat 9.0 and for some reason when I double click on the app im my /root home directory, it does nothing... the package does not install! Nothing comes up stating that it is installing it... no error msgs either.

I also tried downloading the SuSE rpm also... which does launch the rpm installer, but I get an error msg stating that imlib2 is not installed on my system and needs to be... Well, I'm trying to install that as well and I get the same resopnse from the rpm installer there too... nothing.

So I go to the cmd line and try to do some installs... and I get this out put:
[root@localhost root]# rpm --install imlib2-1.1.0-1.src.rpm
warning: user hany does not exist - using root
warning: group hany does not exist - using root
warning: user hany does not exist - using root
warning: group hany does not exist - using root
[root@localhost root]# rpm --install 3ddesktop-0.2.6-1.src.rpm
warning: user bard does not exist - using root
warning: group bard does not exist - using root
[root@localhost root]#

Can anybody figure this out?

Well, for a start, the src.rpm file isn't your normal rpm. Src (or source) rpms are there for you to create an rpm optimised for your system. Check man rpm to find out more, but you need to install the rpm you have created from that source.
