That is a warning, not an error. The installation is successful.
You have installed a src rpm as root, which is normally not a good
idea. It is better to install src rpms as non-root.
Installing a src rpm will not add it to the rpmdb, so it will not be
listed if you do "rpm -q".
Installing src rpms as root will install the files in the tree below
/root/rpmbuild (or whatever "rpm -E %_topdir" says when run as the
root user if you have a non-standard configuration).
If you install it as you own user, which is recommended, the files
will appear in ${HOME}/rpmbuild.

Now I see where it is placed.
Thank you for explanation,
Luigi
P.S. I missed also the -vh options :-)
