And one strange thing too is i added the entries to .rpmmacros as you noted and i try rpm --rebuild from my download/rpms where the src.rpm is and it doesnt work, but if I go to my home dir and exec the command it works. It seems it doesnt follow that the standard ~/ means home dir which is weird. I have all the dirs created in /home/skidley/rpm/.... which should be ~/rpm. very strange indeed.
