[root@localhost xmms]# rpm -q gtk+-1.2.10-40mdk.src.rpm
package gtk+-1.2.10-40mdk.src.rpm is not installed
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what can I do to install the packages src.rpm....???

rpmbuild --rebuild *.src.rpm

or

rpmrebuild *.src.rpm

I forget what mandrake uses for that command.

here is a short how-to for installing source rpms.

thank you for your help but it now gives the error message
--------------------------------------------
[root@localhost xmms]# rpm --rebuild gtk+-1.2.10-40mdk.src.rpm
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmb: No such file or directory
--------------------------------------------
what can I do??

Install the rpmbuild via your CD's/DVD's. Go through DrakConf.

You need to do
If you don't have the rpmbuild package install it as suggested above.
