Well, I don't do too much rpm building, and I haven't
changed permissions on /usr/src/redhat:

[dimi at dimi wine]$ rpmbuild --rebuild mingw-3.0-1.src.rpm
Installing mingw-3.0-1.src.rpm
error: cannot write to %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
error: mingw-3.0-1.src.rpm cannot be installed

I don't even have a .rpmmacros or .rpmrc file:
[root at dimi root]# ls /root/.rpm*
ls: /root/.rpm*: No such file or directory
[root at dimi root]# ls ~dimi/.rpm*
ls: /home/dimi/.rpm*: No such file or directory

It's a very standard RH9 installation, I don't usually change
stuff (I just hate configuring things :)).
