rpmbuild is the command to build an rpm file from a source package or 
tarball. It does not install anything! Instead is makes a new rpm file 
for you in /etc/src/endian/RPMS/<arch>

So to build a development box what you reall need to do in first install 
gcc and rpmbuild [looks like you have rpmbuild already]

To install you do

rpm -ivh package

To upgrade you do

rpm -Uvh package

If you include more then 1 package on the commanline rpm will install 
all of them at once and use them to resolve dependencies on each other.

Does that help?
