Probably you installed the src.rpm files instead of the binary rpms.
A pretty common newbie mistake.

If you disagree, show a session log of how you upgrade the packages
on the command-line:

  $ script 
  Script started, file is typescript
  $ su -
  # rpm -Fvh mozilla*.i386.rpm
  # rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.18-18.8.i686.rpm
  ... (and so on)
  $ exit
  Script done, file is typescript
