So, lots of people have already told you to use a BuildRoot, and they're correct. Mathew Miller also said that you'd be better off not using the "root" user to build. He's absolutely correct, so I figure that the instructions for this don't hit the list often enough, so here's a simple guide to doing so:
1) log in as a non-root user. I like "pjones" for that, but suit yourself ;)
2) create a .rpmmacros file. In it, put something like:
%_topdir /home/pjones/build %_tmp %{_topdir}/tmp %_tmpdir %{_tmp} %_tmppath %{_tmp}
3) make some directories:
cd /home/pjones mkdir build cd build mkdir RPMS SPECS SOURCES BUILD SRPMS tmp
4) test that everything's right:
rpm -Uvh foo-1-1.src.rpm cd ~/build/SPECS/ rpmbuild -ba foo.spec
It should start doing the obvious build stuff. When it's done, it'll write packages out to ~/build/RPMS/$ARCH/foo-1.1.$ARCH.rpm, just like it used to do in /usr/src/redhat .
You can do this, or just install fedora-rpmdevtools from Extras and run "fedora-buildrpmtree" as a non-root user.
