I realise this may be a stupid question, but doesn't a src rpm need to 
be compiled first?

What I mean is;

With a src rpm, do I:

1. install (or upgrade) src rpm
2. execute configure, make, make install (or something like that order 
of things)

or, do I:

1. install (or upgrade) src rpm and  it works?

or does the rpmbuild command do the compiling such that I then do:

1. rpmbuild src rpm
2. upgrade installed rpm

Sorry. Still learning.
