This is done the same way you install/upgrade/freshen any other rpm.  Just cd
to the /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 directory and do an rpm -F or rpm -U.

If the version does not appear to be newer than what was installed, you may
need to either --force the upgrade, or do an rpm -e on your existing version
and then an rpm -i on the new version.

It would have helped if you specified what you tried, and what happened.  Did
you get an error message, and if so, what exactly did it say?
