install the rpm.
rpm -ivh gaim-0.76-0.src.rpm
Go to following directory.
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
build the rpm package for ur specific enviornment.
rpmbuild -ba gaim.spec
Once the RPM is ready , u can install it.
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/gaim-0.76-0.i386.rpm
I don't think this will work without the libs that that showed the dependencies !!
$rpmbuild -ba gaim.spec Will say the same !!

Prolly not, but then GNUs ./configure etc are quite intelligent tools. It will first try to compile gaim without the support of aspell for example and only if Gaim author had decided they cant allow that, it will suggest the libraries to be installed. As against RPM which is much more strict, and the users system must match with that of who created them. In a few cases I have found snipping the section that searched for something from ./configure or "touch /usr/lib/libxyz.so" useful, which RPM may not allow.
