No, this is not a generic RPM problem.

First of all, the verilog.spec most certainly *does* use the RPM_BUILD_ROOT variable. For example: %install %ifarch x86_64 make prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr libdir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib64 install %else make prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr install %endif (BTW is this how the lib64 directory is intended to be used on x86_64 systems?) Second, those commands that are generating the warnings are things like the brp-compress and the Check programs, which are not paying attention to the RPM_BUILD_ROOT variable. Third, this exact same package rebuilds with rpm --rebuild on on my RedHat 7.2/alpha system just fine. -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep."

Does it also set it? E.g. is there something like this: BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-build
(BTW is this how the lib64 directory is intended to be used on x86_64 systems?)
No, use: libdir=%{_libdir} This will be either /usr/lib or /usr/lib64
Second, those commands that are generating the warnings are things like the brp-compress and the Check programs, which are not paying attention to the RPM_BUILD_ROOT variable.
Those are paying attention. But I guess that variable is not set.

Hmm, wing % rpm -q rpm rpm-3.0.6-484 As you noticed, I do have a BuildRoot: line in the SRPM, and it seems to be working properly on your 8.2Beta. On my RedHat systems, I have rpm-4.0.4, so it did occur to me that the rpm on SLES8 is obsolete.
