Red Hat RPM problem

I have my system setup different then the conventional setup:

[root@localhost root]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc2 2.0G 977M 936M 52% /
/dev/hdc1 97M 9.0M 83M 10% /boot
none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm


So when I try to install a RPM which looks for /usr etc. I get an error:

[root@localhost root]# rpm -ivh exim-3.36-5.src.rpm
warning: exim-3.36-5.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e01260f1
error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES


How do I fix this error?

Thanks
Jason

NAME
rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive SYNOPSIS
rpm2cpio [file.rpm] DESCRIPTION
The rpm2cpio utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu- ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard out- put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Converting an rpm file example% rpm2cpio Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv CPIO archive found! -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2635 Sep 13 16:39 1998, 3dfx.gif -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11339 Sep 27 16:03 1998, Dev3Dfx.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1387 Sep 27 16:04 1998, Device3Dfx-1.1-2.spec 31 blocks Example 2: Converting from standard input example% rpm2cpio < Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv CPIO archive found! -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2635 Sep 13 16:39 1998, 3dfx.gif -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11339 Sep 27 16:03 1998, Dev3Dfx.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1387 Sep 27 16:04 1998, Device3Dfx-1.1-2.spec 31 blocks ATTRIBUTES
