I'm trying to package a library (libACE). My .spec file looks like -------------------------------------------- Provides: libACE.so.5.3a.1 Prefix: /users/venkatsr/ACE/ACE_wrappers/ace %prep %build %install %files /users/venkatsr/ACE/ACE_wrappers/ace/libACE.so.5.3a.1 --------------------------------------------------------- But when i try installing it somewhere by giving rpm -i -vv --prefix /tmp/deepesh ACElib-1.0-1.i386.rpm it fails saying that the package is not-relocatable :( Even the command rpm -qp --queryformat '%{DEFAULTPREFIX}\n' TAOlib-1.0-1.i386.rpm gives error "unknown tag" TIA, Deepesh. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
