I have read the thread but am not really sure what you are trying to accomplish.
If all you wish to do is to rebuild the src.rpm then dl the rpm to your home directory.
Open a term and su to root.
# cd /home/charles
# rpm -rebuild cdrtools-1.11a20-1.src.rpm
(be forewarned I can almost guarantee that you are going to need to install additional
-devel pkgs before you can rebuild.)
When/if the build successfully completes the 'new' cdrtools-1.11a20-1.rpm can be found
in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS in the direc. for your system default builds, most likely i586.
Only thing necessary now is to install it.
