Remember to edit the version number to match the tarball version number (i.e. Edit line label "Version:" and "Release:"). Copy the spec file into the ~/rpmbuild/SPECS directory.
(Fedora 16) Since fc16 is quite old, the packages version numbers need to be shifted back. Replace the "Requires: ..." line with the following.
