Can I do this anywhere in the script... Not anywhere. %prep/%build/%install/%clean sections are (shell) scripts that can execute things, you can also do something like %define bar %(echo foo) which sets %bar to "foo" (useless echo, of course, in this case). > I'm really trying to change the directory where the "prep" appears to be > trying to find my .z.bz2 file...
