Changing the prefix in an SRPM rebuild is unfortunately a sticky thing;
the distro macros are usually setup to do their own prefix and no
others. :-\
In the OSCAR LAM/MPI RPM, we had to do the following to override the
prefix (I'm not an RPM expert -- there may be better/easier ways to do
this):
-----
%{!?oscar_prefix: %define oscar_prefix /opt/lam}
# Override default paths.
%define _prefix %{oscar_prefix}-%{version}
%define _libdir %{oscar_prefix}-%{version}/lib
%define _sysconfdir %{oscar_prefix}-%{version}/etc
%define _datadir %{oscar_prefix}-%{version}/share
%define _pkgdatadir %{oscar_prefix}-%{version}/share/lam
%define _localstatedir %{oscar_prefix}-%{version}/var/lib
%define _mandir %{oscar_prefix}-%{version}/man
%define _infodir %{oscar_prefix}-%{version}/info
-----
This allows the use of the default path /opt/lam, but you can --define
it when you rpmbuild as well.
