If you are trying this again, please note this has _two_ hyphens, not
one as in your above attempt.

In the other method you were trying (rpm -ba mol.spec) was there a
spec file in the directory (I presume /usr/src/rpm/SPECS)?  If not it
should be installed when you do something such as

rpm -uvh file.src.rpm

Such a command should install the spec file, source  and other items
from the source rpm.  If there is no mol.spec file in the
/usr/src/rpm/SPECS directory then this failed.  But I am surprised you
did not get an error message.
