IMHO, that is bad advice. Or at least confusing. For the record: if you do "rpmbuild -rebuild" on the .src.rpm then it will produce a binary rpm that will install and work. I know, I've done it. But you are saying to manually make the package, why? (I assume that "make" does not do a "make install"). And _then_ you can install the rpm ??? Can you clarify the logic here?
