You need to build the binary RPM from the .src.rpm. Something like:
rpmbuild --rebuild blah.src.rpm
I think you will find the resulting binary rpm in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS
or something similar. Don't know if that changes for Fedora. On my
Mandrake box it's /usr/src/RPM/RPMS. Install the resulting binary RPM in
the usual way.

Many today claim to be tolerant. True tolerance, however, can cope
with others being intolerant.
