Is there an easy way with the .spec file and the rpmbuild command, for me to override the path the OpenMPI RPM installs into, in /opt? Basically, I'm already doing something like this:
rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'install_in_opt 1' --define '_name fsl_openmpi_intel' --define 'name fsl_openmpi_intel' ... -bb openmpi-1.6-2.src.rpm For some reason, though, while most of it ends up in "/opt/fsl_openmpi_intel/1.6", as I intend, a few files still get put into "/opt/openmpi/1.6/etc", and I'm not sure what else I can do to put it where I want: > # rpm -q -l -p /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/fsl_openmpi_intel-1.6-2.x86_64.rpm > /opt/fsl_openmpi_intel > /opt/fsl_openmpi_intel/1.6 > /opt/fsl_openmpi_intel/1.6/bin > /opt/fsl_openmpi_intel/1.6/bin/mpiCC > /opt/fsl_openmpi_intel/1.6/bin/mpiCC-vt > /opt/fsl_openmpi_intel/1.6/bin/mpic++ > /opt/fsl_openmpi_intel/1.6/bin/mpic++-vt > /opt/fsl_openmpi_intel/1.6/bin/mpicc > ... > /opt/fsl_openmpi_intel/1.6/share/vtsetup-data.dtd > /opt/fsl_openmpi_intel/1.6/share/vtsetup-data.xml > /opt/openmpi/1.6/etc > /opt/openmpi/1.6/etc/openmpi-default-hostfile > /opt/openmpi/1.6/etc/openmpi-mca-params.conf > /opt/openmpi/1.6/etc/openmpi-totalview.tcl > /opt/openmpi/1.6/etc/vt-java-default-filter.spec > /opt/openmpi/1.6/etc/vtsetup-config.dtd > /opt/openmpi/1.6/etc/vtsetup-config.xml I realize it might not be a good idea in general to override "name" and "_name" like this, so if there's an easier way, I'd be happy to do it. I just haven't found anything yet, and haven't yet found the place in the spec file where it's being set to "/opt/openmpi" again. We're probably going to end up with at least 3 versions of v1.6 (gcc compilers, intel compilers, pgi compilers) and possibly a few of a previous version, so putting everything in /opt/openmpi/VERSION, is a little problematic.
