Thanks, Paul. Yes, am build as root and I am using BuildRoot in my
spec. I have done the following:

* copied gnome-games tarball into

/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

* copied gnome-games-spec into

/usr/src/redhat/SPECS

but when I run the command

rpmbuild -bi gnome-games.spec

I get the following error:

# rpmbuild -bi gnome-games.spec
error: Legacy syntax is unsupported: copyright
error: line 16: Unknown tag: Copyright: GPL
#

Replacing Copyright with Licence does not help.

Any ideas?
