2 notes here .

1st. I have failed to find a reference to nxbuilder in general
2nd. Seriously now , i got the above message when the tarball actually didn't include a spec file . The rpmbuild man page is way too poor on this but it merely seems from indirect references that rpmbuild needs the spec file is order to work . Now if the spec file has to be placed on the root directory of the tarball or if it must have a specific syntax in order for rpmbuild to work , that is something that i don't know .
