RE: Relocatable package problem

[Agarwal Deepesh-A19519 <deepesh motorola com>]

I'm using RPM 4.2. I tried the following combination, but still failed :(

----------------------------------------
Prefix: /users/venkatsr/ACE/ACE_wrappers/ace

%files
#some README files if required
%{prefix}/libACE.so.5.3a.1
----------------------------------------
Error it throws:
error: File must begin with "/": %{prefix}/libACE.so.5.3a.1

Now if i tweek my spec for the above error
-------------------------------------------
Prefix: users/venkatsr/ACE/ACE_wrappers/ace

%files
/%{prefix}/libACE.so.5.3a.1
-------------------------------------------

Error it throws:
error: File not found: /%{prefix}/libACE.so.5.3a.1

though the file very much exists in /users/venkatsr/ACE/ACE_wrappers/ace/libACE.so.5.3a.1

Any clues?

Regards,
Deepesh.

What version of rpm are you using.  With 4.2 I do relocatable packages all
the time.  You are setting your Prefix, and using that int he package, so 
it looks like your doing the right thing.

OT, so if I wanted to provide ace libraries to an app is this the only 
file I need?  We build ace at my work also (only its not relocatable), but
I end up packaging up lots more than that, but only because I really don't
know what the absolute minimum is.
