I'm a bit confused now; your colleague said:

--- Begin Quote ---

s/SPEC/SPECS/ in the above two lines (per the rpm.org site).
It also fixes Don's problem.

--- End Quote ---

Which sounds like the opposite. :-)

The command I sent you was copied from a CentOS wiki -- was the problem 
perhaps that the "cat" command below the mkdir was still using "SPEC" 
instead of "SPECS" (and thus failing there, rather than in the rpmbuild)?

Is your version of rpmbuild happy with just the one directory named 
"SPECS", or would it be better to make all the directories?

I don't have a Centos 5.x system to test it on.

Alternately, we could accept this patch as-is, and then you could post a 
follow-up fixing it on your system.
