I believe the src that Ed was referring to is the pine source rpm, AKA
SRPM, .src.rpm. It's the package that is used to create the binary
rpm that gets installed.
If you want to read alot more about that, there's a nice long document
here:

The pine.spec file will be installed if you install the pine SRPM.
The location of the file will vary somewhat depending on what user you
install this as. Source rpms aren't installed the same way as a
typical rpm. The details of this are covered in the rpm guide
referenced above.
