You have "installed" a source RPM (foo.src.rpm). You need to compile
it ("rpmbuild --rebuild foo.src.rpm") and then install the binary RPM
("rpm -Uvh foo.i386.rpm").
It would probably be easier to just download and install the binary
RPM ("rpm -Uvh /url/or/path/to/foo.i386.rpm"). Did you notice that
you can give "rpm" an "http:" or "ftp:" URL and not have to download
as a separate step?
Cheers!
