I don't think the message here is a problem, as it says "warning" and 
not "error". If rpm stops because of an error, it clearly says "error".

I rather think you are surprised that installing a src.rpm doesn't do 
more action? Is it that? In that case, please read the documentation of 
rpm concerning source rpms; you probably need to do "rpm -i 
lapackpp-2.4.7.src.rpm" and *then* "rpmbuild -ba lapackpp-2.4.7". Only 
the latter command will actually do a lot of action. And *then*, when 
you got the message "wrote blabla.rpm", you still need to "rpm -i 
blabla.rpm". RTFM. Really.

Previously you said you couldn't install the rpm. Did you mean you 
couldn't install the binary rpm? Or did you mean you couldn't install 
the source rpm? Again, if you refer to your above message then this 
clearly is *not* an error.
