Put ur gzipped or bzipped tar file in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES directory. Create 
a spec file and place it in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS directory. From there u 
execute 
rpmbuild -ba <spec file name>.spec
After completion, u can get ur rpms and srpms from /usr/src/redhat/RPMS and 
/usr/src/redhat/SRPMS directories respectively. U can create ur own basic spec 
file easily, after having a look at "maximum-rpm", a book for rpm packagers. 
Include only the essential entries in the spec file. Its not needed that u shud 
include all available options.

                       So tell me why u have chosen me.
