I have the following snippet: Name: guard_stap Version: 1.0 Release: 1 Prefix: /usr/local/guardium %define InstRoot %{Prefix}/%{Name}-%{Version}-%{Release} Then later on I have these refs: %files %defattr(-,root,root) %dir /usr/ %dir /usr/local/ %dir /usr/local/guardium/ %dir %{InstRoot}/ %dir %{InstRoot}/trace_files/ %dir %{InstRoot}/traceinstall/ %dir %{InstRoot}/traceinstall/db2/ %dir %{InstRoot}/traceinstall/db2/unix/ %dir %{InstRoot}/traceinstall/ora/ %dir %{InstRoot}/traceinstall/ora/unix/ %dir %{InstRoot}/traceinstall/sybase/ %dir %{InstRoot}/traceinstall/sybase/unix/ %{InstRoot}/guard_hnt %{InstRoot}/guard_sof64 %{InstRoot}/guard_sof32 %{InstRoot}/guard_stap %{InstRoot}/guard_tap.ini %{InstRoot}/guard_tee %{InstRoot}/uninstall.sh When I run the rpmbuild I get these errors: error: File must begin with "/": %{Prefix}/%{Name}-%{Version}-%{Release}/ Am I doing something wrong or is this not allowed in the %files section?
