Why not just use KPackage to do this ? Worked for me installing amsn on 8.0 ? Or perhaps I'm out to lunch on this one..

I don't know if I even have KPackage:
"linux:/home/chris/downloads # KPackage -bash: KPackage: command not found
linux:~ # rpm -q KPackage package KPackage is not installed
-- Chris Grainer
linux:/home/chris/downloads # kpackage -bash: kpackage: command not found
You have kpackage. Start it up the same way in a konsole, but don't use any capital letters. It's also in the menu (at least the KDE menu, heh)
Small point, perhaps, but actually, I don't have it - and I pretty much accepted the default software selection, apart from adding in the odd thing. I don't mind not having it, because I don't want it at the minute ... but it does seem quite possible for Chris not to have it on his system after accepting defaults. Maybe you selected the 'all of kde' option? However, it shouldn't take him many minutes to put it on there. Cheers Fergus
System->Configuration->KPackage . Like Anders said, you don't rpm -i an .src.rpm, with a src.rpm, in a konsole you need to do this (as root)... rpm -rebuild foo.src.rpm , then after waiting for it to do its thing, at the end you'll see something like 'wrote /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/foo.rpm' , you can then do cp /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/foo.rpm /home/you, or just go to the directory it's at and do rpm -i (in a konsole) or open konqueror and click on it and YaST will install it. Often times, it's easiest to get all the .rpm's you'll need for the app, put them all in an empty directory, and then type rpm -i *.rpm (while in that directory of course) and IIRR, it will install what needs to be installed in the order it needs it.
