# rpm -i /home/stephan/source/hylafax-4.1.5-1rh7.src.rpm

go in the changelog section and search for "%install section" string,
replace it with "install section" (take out the %)
# rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/hylafax.spec

this is due to a change in the recent rpm version which overloaded the
%install section with new stuff (building of debug package), and now rpm is
confused when it sees another "%install".

Also, it's always better not to be root when rebuilding rpms, so you'd
better, as user "stephan"
$ cd
$ mkdir -p redhat/{SRPMS,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,BUILD}
$ mkdir -p redhat/RPMS/{i386,i586,i686,noarch,athlon}
$ echo  "%_topdir      /home/stephan/redhat" >> .rpmmacros
$ rpm -i source/hylafax-4.1.5-1rh7.src.rpm
$ vi redhat/SPECS/hylafax.spec
go in the changelog section and search for "%install section" string,
replace it with "install section" (take out the %)
$ rpmbuild -ba redhat/SPECS/hylafax.spec
