+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> What I'm asking is if there is a difference in how Mandrake handles

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> in a VM and the package builds fine on Fedora, but I get the error on
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Madriva. I've examined the .spec file and don't see where there is any
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> obvious problem, so I'm seeking some guidance as to where to look
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> deeper.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> That's quite simple.
+</I>&gt;<i> On fedora :
+</I>&gt;<i> ~ $ rpm --showrc | grep -i ' _libdir'
+</I>&gt;<i> -14: _libdir %{_prefix}/lib
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> On mandriva :
+</I>&gt;<i> $ rpm --showrc | grep -i ' _libdir'
+</I>&gt;<i> -14: _libdir /usr/lib
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Mandriva hardcode the use of /usr/ in the rpm macros file, while Fedora
+</I>&gt;<i> doesn't, letting people override %_prefix.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+Thanks, Michael. I can make those adjustments and will forward that
+info to the package maintainer.
