Why are you doing that ? Oden and Vincent have done a lot of work
for this 8)
you can download the srpm from here:
ftp://ftp.uvsq.fr/pub/mandrake/official/updates/2006.0/SRPMS/clamav-0.88-0.1.20060mdk.src.rpm
To answer your question though, what your missing is a spec file:
e.g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/rpmbuild/SPECS]$> cat idesk.spec
%define name idesk
%%define version 0.7.4
%%define release %mkrel 1
%
%Version: %{version}
%Summary: Plops icons on your root window
%Name: %{name}
%Release: %{release}
%License: GPL
%Group: Graphical desktop/Other
%Source: %{name}-%{version}.tar.bz2
