Please help me in solving this issue

Answer 1

You are probably having an issue due to how your tarball is structure. This section is the relevant area:

+ /usr/bin/gzip -dc /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/demo-1.0.tar.gz

+ STATUS=0

+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'

+ cd demo-1

So the failure is when you try to move into that directory with setup, it expects that directory (demo-1) to exist within your tarball. The spec file you have provided is incomplete and will continue to provide errors even after you resolve this. You should review the TLDP and Fedora documentation before you attempt to build this again.
