I strongly recommend that you create an rpmbuild environment in your
home area rather than /usr/src/redhat. It's easy to do. Just create
~/.rpmmacros containing:
%_topdir /home/ewilts/rpm
Now create the directories in your rpm sub-directory just like they're
in /usr/src/redhat. When you install the source rpm, it will be in your
own sub-directory. Ditto when you build it and the final rpm ready to
be installed will be in ~/rpm/RPMS/<architecture>
