You need to install the rpm-build rpm
But beyond that, you should create a per-user RPM build area in your own home directory and build RPMs as a normal user, not as root. See: <http://www.rpm.org/hintskinks/buildtree/>
A quick way of setting this up is to install fedora-rpmdevtools from Fedora Extras and then run the "fedora-buildrpmtree" script as the user you want to build RPMs as.
