Hello rpm-list, I'm sorry if I should be able to find the answer to this under my own steam. I have Googled and read various pages and HOWTOs, but nothing I have tried has had the desired effect. I'm using rpmbuild on a RedHat ES3 machine. Essentially, the problem I have is that I can't work out how to get my files placed where I want them. For example, I have the following: BuildRoot: /usr/local/mydir Prefix: /usr/local/mydir %files /stuff/server/Myprocess /stuff/server/Myfile # shared libraries /usr/lib/libStuff.so.1.0.0 This is OK, and the files get found and packaged. However, upon installation they get dropped into /, rather than /usr/local/mydir I've tried various values for BuildRoot, including "/" which isn't allowed. Also, I can't figure out how to install a symlink at the same time. What I need is for /usr/local/mydir/usr/lib/libStuff.so to point at /usr/local/mydir/usr/lib/libStuff.so.1.0.0, and although I have ln commands in the %install section, this doesn't appear to be the solution. Any help is much appreciated, thanks. I'd be just as grateful for a pointer to an up to date manual/web page for rpmbuild that will enable me to work it out for myself. -- Best regards, Daren mailto:dc@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
