I am trying SRPM method, but somehow my rpm doesn't know --rebuild? 

address@hidden download]# ls -all *.src.rpm 
-rw-rw-r--    1 ant      ant       1648661 Jun 18 12:34 
pan-0.12.0-1.src.rpm
address@hidden download]# rpm --rebuild pan-0.12.0-1.src.rpm 
pan-0.12.0-1.src.rpm: No such file or directory
address@hidden download]# rpm --version
RPM version 4.0.4

I looked at "man rpm" and both rebuild and recompile were listed, but rpm
--help didn't show them. Am I do something wrong or have an outdated rpm
version (I thought v4.0.4 was supposed to have it or was I wrong?)?

Thank you in advance.
