_prefix hard-coded to /usr?

hmiller@xxxxxxxxxx · Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:14:30 -0600

In my RPM .spec file, I have set PREFEX to /usr/local.

In the %post section, I need to use the prefix variable to make some changes.

However, when I echo ${_prefix} it is not set to /usr/local.  It is  

set to /usr

If I do an "rpmbuild --showrc", there is a line showing prefix set to /usr.

Is there some trick to using _prefix in my %post scripting section of  

my .spec file?

I need the actual PREFIX value that is set in my .spec file, or the  

--prefix value entered on the command line by the user who installs  

the subsequent rpm file.

Thanks,
