Thanks for the pointers. Installing the buildsys-macros did it.

How can I make sure that buildsys-macros is installed?
BuildRequires: buildsys-macros
won't work because there is no buildsys-macros on Fedora. And

%if 0%{?rhel}
BuildRequires: buildsys-macros
%endif

is not going to work too...

BTW, why must buildsys-macros be downloaded manually from the above URL and is 
not included in the regular EPEL repository?

Kind regards,

Gerd
