Thanks James for the help, Today morning I got the solution to my problem, I am now using multiple prefix to get the desired output. In it we can defines multiple prefixes and then using --relocate command change the directory at the install time. ________________________ Thanks and Regards, Mayank Johri Global Packaging 570 Washington St. 3fl.

There are some macros (well quite a few) that govern rpm's behavior (such as where it generates tempfiles...not your scriptlets, rpm) at install time. Those you can set via --define or via ~/.macros or /etc/rpm/macros. For macros in the scriptlets you wrote you can't change those, because, as mentioned above, they have already been expanded on your build server. There has been some talk about install time expansion of macros with the rpm developers, but as yet no one has made it happen (OTOH, lots of other things have).
