Thank you Damian, That explains it. I did not know about src at all. Two further questions,
If I choose to compile a tar ball, can I turn the compiled file into an rpm file, and if so how, If I choose to compile the src rpm file, rather than compile a tar ball, which is likely to be best. Is there a question of installabillity , between one computer over another computer, assuming they both have the same base OS. In otherwords are there pros and cons between either route.
