Swapna,

Any time you see any RPM file with "src" in, it generally needs to
be made into an installable RPM.  The "src" is actually the source to
the application.  You will need to do this:

rpm --rebuild anteil-1.1.1-1.src.rpm

That will compile it on your system, and create the actual RPM in
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i[3,5,6]86.  You will just need to find it.
Chances are it will be in the i386 directory.

Then you can use "rpm -i <filename>" to install it

Best of luck to ya,
