In this case it didn't install in these directories or anywhere else according to locate and manual inspection. In any case should'nt ' rpm -i /home/myhome/bin/MySQL-5.0.16-0.src.rpm' have built and installed the rpm with dependencies?
No. That's not the way src.rpm works. You have the source files in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES and the spec file in /usr/src/packages/SPECS. If manual inspection didn't show this, then you didn't do it right, because that is where they will be after you install a src.rpm
As a slight aside to this question; I recently tried to do an install of an .src and it failed for dependencies. Yet the SOURCES and SPECS for that rpm were found in those respective files. I guess they are useless to me and I could just go in and delete them, no? I also have a ton of files in SOURCES from previous builds. I guess they could be deleted also, right? And, if I do a rebuild of an .src file and it is successful I would find it in the SRPMS directory, right? Have more questions but I am old and confused and it is very late. Bob S.
