Following the instructions, I got a problem.

When I tried to install the .src.rpm file, I got the following warnings:

sudo rpm -i gdal-1.7.2-5_1.el5.elgis.src.rpm
warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root
warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root
warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root

warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root
warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root
warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root
warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root

and then, I couldn't find the 

~/rpmbuild/SOURCES and ~/rpmbuild/SPECS 

directories (probably because I do not have root privilegies for the
computer I'm using at work).

What should I do to to set up my build environment ?

Thanks in advance,

Mauricio
