Although this change will only be reflected in the upstream src.rpm file on my people site, there is sort of a precedent in RHEL5. There is a RHEL5 ppc64 Cell/B.E. SPU "crash-spu-commands" package, which is a standalone crash extension package, and which puts its .so file in /usr/lib64/crash/extensions: $ rpm -qpl crash-spu-commands-1.1-1.ppc64.rpm /usr/lib64/crash/extensions/spu.so /usr/share/doc/crash-spu-commands-1.1 /usr/share/doc/crash-spu-commands-1.1/COPYING $ So its .spec file has this: %install mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/crash/extensions/ cp %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/spu.so %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/crash/extensions/ and this: %files %defattr(-,root,root) %{_libdir}/crash/extensions/spu.so %doc COPYING That should work for you right, i.e., changing your "/usr/lib" references to %{_libdir}?
