RPMDIR usually is in /usr/src/redhat. Try changing to this directory
(/usr/src/redhat/SPECS) and seeing if the spec is there. If it is, you
can edit the kdelibs.spec file and make the change in the %configure
section. To rebuild, rpm -ba kdelibs.spec.
If you have a custom .rpmmacros file in your home directory then you may
have the RPMDIR pointing elsewhere.
