I'm using RPM 4.2. I tried the following combination, but still failed :(
----------------------------------------
Prefix: /users/venkatsr/ACE/ACE_wrappers/ace
%files
#some README files if required
%{prefix}/libACE.so.5.3a.1
----------------------------------------
Error it throws:
error: File must begin with "/": %{prefix}/libACE.so.5.3a.1
Now if i tweek my spec for the above error
-------------------------------------------
Prefix: users/venkatsr/ACE/ACE_wrappers/ace
%files
/%{prefix}/libACE.so.5.3a.1
-------------------------------------------
Error it throws:
error: File not found: /%{prefix}/libACE.so.5.3a.1
though the file very much exists in /users/venkatsr/ACE/ACE_wrappers/ace/libACE.so.5.3a.1
Any clues?
Regards,
Deepesh.

What version of rpm are you using. With 4.2 I do relocatable packages all
the time. You are setting your Prefix, and using that int he package, so
it looks like your doing the right thing.

OT, so if I wanted to provide ace libraries to an app is this the only
file I need? We build ace at my work also (only its not relocatable), but
I end up packaging up lots more than that, but only because I really don't
know what the absolute minimum is.
