Oops?

You don't install the srpm ( source code ) ! ( you install the rpm made from it )

That is not a problem - it's merely telling you that it changed the ownership, from unknown user Leigh to root.

I've seen that one before....

Is this prohibiting the install? I am not sure where to go from here

Actually, you are allowed to "install" a .src.rpm, but that is pointless: it merely puts the files in a generic build folder, where you must play with them anyhow before you can re-build and install the real RPM package.

Follow Leigh's directions, you can't go wrong....

That did it. Thanks a lot! Had a few mixups here and there but it is working now - even though I'm still confused as to how to get it from the source :P This will have to do though, I will learn how to compile it some time in the future.
