It doesnt appear to make it with my rpm spec. Heres an extract: %install mkdir /opt/OpenPBS mkdir /opt/OpenPBS/2.3.16 ln -s /opt/OpenPBS/2.3.16 /opt/OpenPBS/latest cd $RPM_BUILD_DIR/OpenPBS_2_3_16 make install cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/OpenPBS_2_3_16/doc make install The ln -s command does not make the link. I forgot to mention that this spec file makes about 5 RPMs. It makes a server, man, devel, xpbs, xpbsmon rpm. Which RPM does the %install section refer to?
