Assuming that you are in /etc/sudoers!!!!
And then asked for a password.
Which password? My userid or root's? I tried both and after 3 tries got:

me is not in sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
removing '/home/me/rpmbuild/BUILD/hipl--main--2.6/hipl-1.0.4'

The end user account password is what sudo is looking for ... as noted, it seems you had not configured /etc/sudoers to include you.

So I look at /etc/sudoers and do not understand what I am suppose to do there.

A sample entry which permits a single user machine to do root operations when needed, but to stay in its non-priv'd mode most of the time looks like something as simple as:

[herrold@new ~]$ sudo grep herrold /etc/sudoers
Password: [here, the end user 'herrold's password]
herrold ALL=(ALL) ALL
[herrold@new ~]$

... We need root rights to read /etc/sudoers, or else it would have not been needed except for teaching reasons.

A bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Hope this helps .. I wonder a bit at your description of untarring, ./configure'ing, etc ... that is not part of rpm building from .spec or SRPM.
Here is what I was told to do:

wget http://hipl.hiit.fi/hipl/hipl.tar.gz

you can build on CentOS by executing:

tar xvzf hipl.tar.gz
cd hipl--main--2.6
./autogen.sh
./configure
make rpm

("make install" works too, but installs to /usr/local by default)

Software requirements are listed here:

http://infrahip.hiit.fi/hipl/manual/ch02.html

OK ... after several changes to the spec file, I got this to build. The process was rather intense, so rather than trying to document it I will post a good SRPM after I verify that all the build requirements are there and it will also build the same in mock.

So, in a couple minutes expect a link to download a GOOD SRPM for this package that builds on centos-5 i386 and x86_64
