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.
