Build from the *specfile*, not the SRPM:

rpmbuild -ba tightvnc.spec

If that's successful you'll get new binary RPMS and a new SRPM, which
includes your customized tightvnc.spec.

I recommend also adding --define 'dist .rm1' or similar, to make it
obvious that you're using a package that you built rather than a Fedora
package. (I do --define 'dist .ww1' - either way, it's considered
"newer" than .fcX)
