GLINT does not handle Source RPMs. It will take care of normal
(binaries) RPMs very well but cannot handle SRPM or .src.rpm files. You
need to use the command-line tool for this.

Good -- that is what you should get.

Actually, the "#######" bit is supposed to be a progress meter :-)
In other words, you did install it successfully. The challenge is
determining where it put it! (probably /usr/src/redhat/something)
You're on the right track here. To get rid of the "#" progress bar,
just use "rpm -Uv" instead of "rpm -Uvh".
