Let's see your entire spec file.  I build lots of rpms without any
Source tags, it definitely works.  One thing I can think of is if
you have a %prep section and use the %setup macro.  That requires
a Source or Source0 tag.  If you don't have any sources you shouldn't
use %setup, of course.  If that's not your problem we probably need
to see your entire spec file to diagnose.
