Why can't I extract sources from RPM files on the  RedHat Enterprise
Linux Version 4 for 64-bit AMD64 and Intel EM64T?  (CDs 7 through 10).

Running, e.g.,

   rpm -ivh zsh-4.2.0-3.src.rpm

results in the following:

[root at perth SRPMS]# rpm -ivh zsh-4.2.0-3.src.rpm
   1:zsh                    ########################################### [100%]
[root at perth SRPMS]#

but nothing gets installed. I don't see any sources in RPM listings
and I don't see anything new in the /usr/src directory. I'm currently
fully (and automatically) updated against the latest RH version.

Does this have something to do with a license? Is there a way for me
to rebuild the kernel manually? I need to install the latest nVidia
driver and PAPI (Performance Application Programming Interface).
