When you "install" a source RPM you don't really install it. You
unpack the source files into specific directories, ready for building
the package. In RedHat the default locations are:
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS for the codeweavers-wine.spec file
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES for the source tar balls and patches
I guess this will be stored under the /compat/linux/ directories under
FreeBSD.
Is this not happening?
Adding more '-v's to rpm should give you more information.
