OK, this is good. We're making progress now I think. I put in a
.rpmmacros and set my %_topdir macro as suggested by you and another
responder (Thanks!)
I also changed the file name as you suggested.
Here's my current spec file:
Summary: A SIP-based softphone for the Linux Operating System
Name: sip
Version: 0.9.1
Release: 1
Copyright: Free for non-commercial use
Group: Applications/Communications
Source: %{name}-%{version}.tgz
%description
The Cornfed SIP User Agent is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based
softphone for your IBM-compatible Personal Computer running the Linux
Operating System. The Cornfed SIP User Agent allows you to make Internet
phone calls using an Open Sound System (OSS) or Advanced Linux Sound
Architecture (ALSA) sound card with speakers and microphone as your
telephone handset.
%prep
%setup
%build
%install
install -o 0 -g 0 -s -v -m 755 sip /usr/local/bin/sip
install -o 0 -g 0 -v -m 644 ring.wav /etc/sip/ring.wav
%files
/usr/local/bin/sip
/etc/sip/ring.wav
I've put a fresh .tgz file called sip-0.9.1.tgz in the SOURCES directory
and have also done a clean build there as well. The actual binaries
that I want to be packed into the RPM are therefore at the following
locations:
/home/fwmiller/sip/rpm/SOURCES/sip/gnome/sip
/home/fwmiller/sip/rpm/SOURCES/sip/wav/ring.wav
These files should be going into /usr/local/bin/sip and
/etc/sip/ring.wav, respectively.
However, now when I run rpmbuild I get the following output:
[fwmiller@localhost SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bb --nobuild -vv sip.spec
Processing files: sip-0.9.1-1
error: File not found: /usr/local/bin/sip

I'm no expert, so my advice may not be any good.
I'd start by creating $HOME/.rpmmacros so you can build in your own area:
bash$ cat .rpmmacros
%_topdir /home/timborn/usr/src/redhat
That should take care of your first problem. The next problem you are
likely to see is that your tarball isn't following the naming
convention used by RPMs. There's ways to work around everything, but
The Path Of Least Resistance is to have your tarball in
%_topdir/SOURCES be named %{name}-%{version}.tar (or .tar.gz, or
.tgz). Otherwise you need to tweak the %prep section, because this is
the format it's expecting.
You can also replace your Source: tag with something like
Source: %{name}-%{version}.tgz
