Thanks for the help. I tried that, not much difference apart from file paths. BTW I do get some stuff created, in /var/tmp/bind-buildroot/usr/share/doc/bind-9.2.3 I get all my doc files as spec'd with %doc README COPYRIGHT EXCLUDED FAQ CHANGES 'usr' is the only directory under bind-buildroot. My %install is %install make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT %files %defattr(-,root,root) /etc/logrotate.d/named /etc/rc.d/init.d/named /etc/rndc.conf /etc/rndc.key /etc/sysconfig/named /usr/lib/libisccc.so.0 /usr/lib/libisccc.so.0.0.1 /usr/lib/libisccfg.so.1 /usr/lib/libisccfg.so.1.0.0 /usr/sbin/dns-keygen /usr/sbin/dnssec-keygen /usr/sbin/dnssec-makekeyset /usr/sbin/dnssec-signkey /usr/sbin/dnssec-signzone /usr/sbin/lwresd /usr/sbin/named /usr/sbin/named-bootconf /usr/sbin/named-checkconf /usr/sbin/named-checkzone /usr/sbin/rndc /usr/sbin/rndc-confgen /usr/share/man/man5/named.conf.5.gz /usr/share/man/man5/rndc.conf.5.gz /usr/share/man/man8/dnssec-keygen.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/dnssec-makekeyset.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/dnssec-signkey.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/dnssec-signzone.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/lwresd.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/named-checkconf.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/named-checkzone.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/named.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/rndc-confgen.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/rndc.8.gz /var/named /var/run/named %defattr(-,root,root) %doc README COPYRIGHT EXCLUDED FAQ CHANGES %changelog Also, alongside /var/tmp/bind-buildroot/usr/share/doc/bind-9.2.3 there is another directory called /var/tmp/bind-buildroot/usr/share/doc/bind-9.2.3? which seems to have nearly everything in it, e.g. [mhull@mars tmp]$ ls bind-buildroot?/tmp bind9.2.3 [mhull@mars tmp]$ ls bind-buildroot?/tmp/bind9.2.3 bin include lib man sbin [mhull@mars tmp]$ ls bind-buildroot?/tmp/bind9.2.3/bin dig host isc-config.sh nslookup nsupdate Whats going on?
