RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX was just discussed on the mailing list last week, check
the archives. Assuming your spec only specifies one Prefix:, you
probably want something like
if test X"$RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX0" = X"" ; then
RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX0=%{prefix}
fi
at the top of your %post, and then you want to use RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX0
in your %post.
Check the archives for more details.
