OK, I know this command "rpm -Uvh --relocate /old=/new ... "
But I would you like to get back the prefix path in pre-
installation phase, and for that the only possibility is the
interactive installation.
Do you know may be where I found the special documentation on
interactive rpm mode,
There's no "special documentation on interactive rpm mode" because
the primary focus of rpm packaging is on a batch mode, unattended,
*non-interactive*, install.
That being said, you can try interacting with the user in rpm
scriptlets if you want.
At worst, you will have to patch rpm to leave stdin open. I've
forgotten whether rpm
closes stdin (or not) while running scriptlets.

Hello,
Is it possible to build an interactive rpm package.
It's possible, but strongly discouraged. I'll leave that to
others ;-)
That means, I would like build a relocatable package but I'd
like find a way for don't give the path of installation as --
prefix (pathname)
I'd like to answer a questions as "Enter the path of package
where would you like to install: ?" in pre-installation phase
and after the rpm package install in the path given at the
questions.
Is it possible to install rpm package with interactive mode.
Instead, invoke rpm as
rpm -Uvh --relocate /old=/new ...
to specify the relocation path for files.
If there are other occurences of the relocated path in, say,
config files, then
you will need to change those files in %post, or -- even better --
patch
the program to be as independent of installed (and possibly
relocated)
path as possible.
