Support RPM

Some LDM users would like to install from an RPM but the current support for that is poor. Here's an example of a problem (there might be some line formatting errors):
My name is James Brenton and I am a contractor at Marshall Space Flight Center. We are using LDM on our older machines to get meteorological data from a server at the Eastern Range at Cape Canaveral. We're working on migrating to newer virtual machines using the same build of LDM. The virtual machine is running Redhat Linux 7.2 and we're trying to build and install LDM 6.11.2.
We've been trying to build an RPM to install LDM, using these directions where "~" is "/home/ldm/":
1). Make sure the build system is at the same level as the install system. It's okay to build and install on same system.
2). mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/BUILD ~/rpmbuild/RPMS ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386 ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686 ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES ~/rpmbuild/SPECS ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS ~/rpmbuild/tmp
3). vi ~/.rpmmacros
%_topdir ~/rpmbuild
%_tmppath ~/rpmbuild/tmp
4). tar -xvzf ldm-6.11.2 tar.gz
5). Copy the ldm.spec file to the ~/rpmbuild/SPECS directory as ldm.spec. Update the ldm.spec if applicable.
6). Copy the ldm-6.11.2 tar.gz file to the ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES directory.
7). rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/ldm.spec
But we get the following error when we get to step 7:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 rpc/rpc.h rpc/types.h rpc/xdr.h rpc/auth.h rpc/clnt .h rpc/rpc_msg.h rpc/auth_unix.h rpc/svc.h rpc/svc_auth.h rpc/pmap_clnt.h rpc/pm ap_prot.h '/home/ldm/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/ldm-6.11.2-1.el7.x86_64/usr/ldm-6.11.2/i nclude/rpc'
