Better still: use the page:

http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/SuSE+RPM+Specfile?t=anon

(which BTW was the *first* hit with the google search "awn suse") to get exact
instructions how to build an rpm package from this particular tarball.

The lesson to learn from this is, that if you want to install a nifty new
package, it is *always* a good idea to google for "<nifty-new-package> suse".
