rpm install src

I'm having a problem installing a source rpm - is this the correct way to do it?

try
 rpm --rebuild tcpdump-4.0.0-3.20090921gitdf3cb4.1.el6.src.rpm
and then
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/tcpdump.version.rpm

I downloaded the file from here and ran the command from the same fir that the rpm was downloaded to

try
rpmbuild --rebuild tcpdump-4.0.0-3.20090921gitdf3cb4.1.el6.src.rpm

Make sure rpm-build is installed.
yum install rpm-build

Sorry
Can you try rpmbuild --rebuild

If the command rpmbuild is not found you will need to install rpm-build package to install from source RPM packages.

If you have yum, have you tried yum install tcpdump

So can you run
rpmbuild --rebuild tcpdump-4.0.0-3.20090921gitdf3cb4.1.el6.src.rpm

to list where the files are installed in installed rpm package do
rpm -ql rpm-build    (lower case L)
