Installing source rpm, RH8.0

["Greg Stewart" <durbatullukk hotmail com>]

I've installed RH psyche in order to learn how to program on linux, and I've
been trying to install source code, particularly that for vim.

Running:

rpm -i -v vim-6.1-14.src.rpm (as root from the package dir) prints out

vim-6.1-14

but     rpm -q -v vim-6.1-14     indicates the package isn't installed. All
that happens is that about 100 patch and tar.gz files etc are created in
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/.

It's as if some script was supposed to be run to amalgamate them and
doesn't. Trying to install using redhat-config-packages doesn't do much
better, except that an rpm -q will indicate the package installed - the
files in /SOURCES/ remain the same unusable bunch...

The machine isn't internet connected so I can't just download source willy
nilly from the web. Any pointers would be very useful.
