Thanks, but I am not in the "wrong directory" and I do not build RPMs  
in the /usr dir. I create my own tree locally ($HOME/rpm/...) and make  
sure my .rpmmacros file is constructed properly. I do have a _topdir  
defined:

%_topdir        %(echo ${HOME}/rpm)
%_tmppath       %{_topdir}/tmp

But again, this appears to relate to having CDPATH set inside  
your .bashrc. If I remove CDPATH, everything works fine. With CDPATH I  
need to then modify the /usr/lib/rpm/macros file by adding "unset  
CDPATH || : \" to the "%___build_pre" macro. Looks like a bug.
