Thanks for the help. I just discovered that the problem is obscure. No wonder it didn't seem familiar to anyone. Things went funny because I was trying to install my package on an AFS filesystem. The rpm program was trying to chmod 02755 the prefix directory. That's forbidden on AFS. Only the low-order permission bits can be changed. When I switched to an NFS filesystem, the problem went away. * Patrick L. Nolan * * W. W.
