Because typically there is another command in there that I left out in my haste. %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %makeinstall That makes sure there are no files left over from a previous build. An important point about packaging is that it is designed that the builds are repeatable. So things try to be self-contained to avoid unrecorded external events from affecting the result. > That worked fine, thanks! Glad things are working for you.
