the --prefix option

["Sharad Tiwari" <sharad tiwari wipro com>]

Hi all,

	I am struggling to accomplish one small thing.

I have some rpm packages built some of them have no prefix set whereas
others pick up things from a BUILDROOT. Now on installing I want all the
binaries to get installed into my own ROOT/usr/bin and the libs in my
own ROOT/lib.

I thought the --prefix option lets me do that, but my understanding says
that if a package is built with some BUILDROOT we can get the things
installed to / using --prefix=/.

Is what I am trying to do possible ???

Thanks for the help ...

TIA,
Sharad.
