2) The rpmbuild -ba zbr.spec indeed installs the software in the building stage. That's odd, isn't it ?
You're likely not using the appropriate macros and buildroot
Following my signature is an openssl.spec file
I would REALLY recommend not updating the openssl package on centos, as pretty much the ENTIRE ditribution is built on the version we ship. Updating that may cause your applications to cease functioning.
Any help would be appreciated.
1. This would be best served on the RPM irc channel, and mailing list I think. 2. Have you looked at the spec files for the source rpms in the distro to see the differences?
Summary: OpenSSL Name: openssl Version: 0.9.8b Release: 6 Source0: %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz License: GPL
You have no build requirements, buildroot, and no proper config statement defined. The license you list for openssl is not correct, There's no files section to actually put things on your system.
Source: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8b.tar.gz Group: Applications/Communications %description OpenSSL provides encryption for Apache, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP. %prep %setup -q %build ./config no-idea shared make depend make %install make install
Your install section installs because you're building as root, which is a bad thing to do. So make install is droping files on your system, but the rpm itself contains no files because there's no files section.

Everythign here is using hard-coded paths, and not the appropriate macros. I would really recommend reading through the fedora packaging guidlines and checking out the maximum rpm guides. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
