Most RPMs are packages of already-compiled binaries. You can't recompile them
because they don't include
source code.

There is such a thing as a "source RPM" (SRPM), which works just like other RPMs,
except that instead of containing
binaries, it has source code. Red Hat usually puts SRPM contents in
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES when installed. There
may be an SRPM for Squid on the source code CD. If so, you can install it and
compile it up however you want.

If not, you may have to just fetch the source from squid-cache.org.
