Is the SRPM corrupted? I've pulled a few from other places for other versions (like Fedora) from pbone, and they all have this problem.
Any hints available?
Happens with SRPMS from newer Fedoras. Unpack it manually into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and move the spec file into place.
*NEVER DO THIS*.
Always, always, always start your development as a normal user, not as root, and use a .rpmmacros that acts accordingly. For example, for user "nkadel", in "/home/nkadel/.rpmmcros", I have
%_topdir /home/nkadel/rpm
And I set up a subdirectories there as necessary.
