rpmbuild src?

[m.roth2006 at rcn.com]

So, my next stip in this wiki project is to get a working php-java bridge. I've found a source rpm, and was trying rpmbuild, since just untaring the included tarfile reveals an rpm-spec, and no configure. I've been trying to use rpmbuild, and it keeps croaking on not being able to find phpize. Now, it's in my path (and I'm on as root); I've tried editing /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/php-java<blah>.spec, and it apparently re-extracts it and overwrites it. I've also tried to add the path to /usr/lib/rpm/config.guess, since I didn't see an appropriate place in either rpmrc or in config.site.

I suppose I could make a symbolic link to /usr/bin, but I'd really like to know the *correct* way to build the software. So: how do I fix the path?
