You are using the *.src.rpm, or source RPM. I think you have to build the
binary *.rpm version before you can install. 'man rpm' should have more
information about how to do this.

I want to upgrade to the lastest version (1.3.9-x) but am a little uncertain
regarding which RPM I should use. I am using RH6.0 with kernel 2.2.16-3.
I tried the ipchains-1.3.9-17.src.rpm but received "error:
ipchains-1.3.9-17.src.rpm does not appear to be a RPM package" when I ran
rpm -ivh on it. I found a number of .i386 and .i586 rpms from the likes of
trustix etc and can't decide which to use.
I found an RPM at one of the mirrors but it was under a RH6.2 subdirectory.
Is it OK to use that one? Why can't I install the SRPM?
Any advice greately appreciated.
