imake



SRPMS are Source RPMS...  They wouldn't install like a regular RPM.
xfig is definitely a regular rpm (xfig-3.2.2-1.i386.rpm on the RedHat 5.2 CD)

> I have an application-- xfig -- which I downloaded off of Redhat's SRPMS

> than via an rpm command.  Once the file is uncompressed,  it has a README
