$ rpmbuild -bb ./test.spec
error: File ./test-2.3.0/SOURCES/test-2.3.0.tar.gz: No such file or
directory

The file test-2.3.0.tar.gz is located at /tmp/SOURCES/
test-2.3.0.tar.gz.
How to change test.spec to do that?
The linux is FC6.

I tried to set BuildRoot but it does not work:
BuildRoot: /tmp

In your ~/.rpmmacros file setting "%_sourcedir /tmp/SOURCES" should work. IMHO it's easier / efficient to have a separate tree for building RPM's under which you locate the build, source, temp, spec and such dirs.
