to poke into the rpm just as if (maybe it is) a tarball and installed everything under /usr/local. This was before /opt was in the hier. Now that /opt is in the hier, I would suggest that you would install the whole shebang manually under /opt/$PACKAGENAME which makes removal later much easier.
I have a long way to go before I am that far. But I have already adapted to the habit of installing such packages in /opt. In fact, I have a separate partition for /opt. Greetings, Manon.
