*** Bug 58493 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Yes, I made that change. It builds fine on all releases of Red Hat Linux
that I have built it on. I'm not sure I understand the problem exactly.
Not portable to what exactly?
/usr/bin is not "better". I'm not sure the goals of Red Hat Linux
coincide with whatever it is that whoever is trying to accomplish.
%{_bindir} is the proper location for the binaries to be placed in,
and it is exactly where they are. I have no idea where the %{_prefix}
comes from as that string is found nowhere in the pine spec file.

The change in the new specfile for update pine-4.44-1.72.0.src.rpm has introduced a couple of portability problems. From: Chris Adams <cmadams This is the primary problem I've had. For example, the RHL 7.2 pine RPM had: for n in pine pico pilot; do install -c -m 755 -s bin/$n $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin/$n done For the errata, someone decided it was "better" to do: install -m 755 bin/{pine,pico,pilot,rpdump,rpload} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin/ Why? There is no good reason not to use the more portable loop. And they didn't fix the real problem: the use of /usr/bin instead of %{_prefix}/bin or even better %{_bindir}. :-) ---------------------- This thread from the rpm-list on Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2002 21:03:27 -0600
