Hi, 
I am very happy to reply. I downloaded the ktechlab-0.1.3-1mdk.src.rpm and 
created the folders you said under to " /home/tansu" directory. ("tansu" is 
my name and "tansu" is a user). Then i copied the ktechlab-0.1.3-1mdk.src.rpm 
to the same directory. is this correct? 
But as an user, t tried to execute the command "rpm -ivh 
ktechlab-0.1.3-1mdk.src.rpm"  it displayed the message below:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] tansu]$ pwd
/home/tansu
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tansu]$ rpm -ivh ktechlab-0.1.3-1mdk.src.rpm
warning: ktechlab-0.1.3-1mdk.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 26752624
error: cannot write to %sourcedir /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tansu]$

What can i do now? please..

Best regards 
Tansu
