And if this true , what do i in the situation like > --prefix=/usr > Any ideas? http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ Contains a manual on building rpms. The basic idea is this. You use configure and make as per usual. However when rpm is finished building the package it installs it in a temporary directory. So for example, suppose I have a program call myProgram after building the package, normally from source you'd type as root 'make install'. When building, rpm calls 'DESTDIR=/var/tmp/myProgram-tmp make install' or something similar to it depending on the makefile, it could be 'INSTALLDIR=/var/tmp/myProgram-tmp make install'. In any case, make will then install all the files to that directory, from which rpm pulls the files referenced in %files. So if you had files in --prefix=/usr you'd have /var/tmp/myProgram-tmp/usr/... That's the basics, the manual above will likely have examples.
