I would recommend to use rpmdevtools versus doing this as root. There
have been bad spec files which have removed /bin or something when
they got out of their build environment..

yum install rpmdevtools

/usr/bin/rpmdev-setuptree
rpm -ivh <name>.src.rpm
cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
rpmbuild -ba <name>.spec

This makes it so you are building it as you the user.. which makes
sure that if the RPM is badly written you do not accidently whack /bin
etc.
