Does anyone have instructions on how to do this ? You do need a source rpm; in this case the binaries are your sources and you just need to install them in the correct location. Create a src.rpm package where the %prep and %build phases do almost nothing (I think you might need %prep to move the binaries into the build directory. Experiment with that) and the %install phase puts the binaries into the correct location under the RPM_BUILD_ROOT tree, just like a normal %install would do for a source rpm. Then package them up as normal in the %files section.
