Um, one doesn't do rpm -Uvh on source rpms, one does a rpm --rebuild for 
that.  -Uvh is used for binary rpms.

You will need a C compiler (that's how one translates C source code
(which is what you have) to a binary (which is what you want).

Alternately, you could download the binary rpm and do a rpm -Uvh on it.
