That should be rpmbuild, not rpm. In later versions of rpm the installer no
longer automagically calls the builder, and you have to invoke it directly.

You can also build as non-root by creating a ~/.rpmmacros directory with this
line in it:

%_topdir        /home/buildmeister/topdir

Then under topdir create subdirectories BUILD, RPMS, SRPMS, SOURCES, and SPECS
(same tree that's normally under /usr/src/redhat).

I never package as root, as a rogue spec file could cause all kinds of havoc.
