/usr/src/redhat and sub dirs are owned root.root. If you want to build as a normal user (and you should!) you should fix the ownership of those directories.
NO. Never do this.
Use a personal .rpmmacros file to reset your personal working directories, so you can compile locally.
%_topdir /home/username/rpm
Here are the steps I use:
mkdir $HOME/rpm mkdir $HOME/rpm/SOURCES mkdir $HOME/rpm/SPECS mkdir $HOME/rpm/BUILD mkdir $HOME/rpm/SRPMS mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS/i386 echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpm" >> $HOME/.rpmmacros
You may also want an x86_64 directory depending on what you are building.
I've done something similar now.
Here's what I have got so far:

and:

18 directories, 9 files
I also did a directory comparison using Kdif3, on /usr/src/redhat and /home/rpmbuilder. Then made the directories structures for rpmbuilder the same as redhat's - plus my extra files of course.
Thanks for all the input so far.
