Sorry, our replies crossed. I gave that command as an example only.  
In order for this to be useful, I need to move the old rpm/ 
libhid.spec to rpm/libhid.spec.in and then do some magic to get  
autoconf to substitute in the version, etc.

Also, if you have proper permissions to /usr/src/redhat (or if you  
change the %topdir macro to your home directory - I think that's the  
name), you don't need to be root to build RPMs, particularly when  
they have a BuildRoot field in the spec file.
