No -- if you set the prefix to $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/opt/lam, then that is
what the prefix will be. More specifically, LAM will think that it
should be installed into /tmp/rpm-build-root/opt/lam (or whatever your
RPM_BUILD_ROOT is).
So you really want to have a prefix of /opt/lam, and use a DESTDIR kind
of install (e.g., "make DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT install").

We actually recommend not setting LAMHOME. There are a few cases where
it is necessary, but unless you really need it (and you probably
don't), it isn't necessary to set it.
