I assume you are referring to this wiki:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment

If not, I strongly recommend reading it through. Up front it warns you
to not do the build as root. It provides the details for setting up
the build environment which will help you understand the whole
process. Installing some rpms may be convenient but you may miss the
chance of learning. :-)
