I ran into that when I started packaging Gambas around 0.50... 
RPMs are traditionally built as a regular user and installed 
into a temporary directory.

Luckily, you can do this with "make install 
ROOT=/my/fake/root/directory" (or maybe make install goes last, 
I forget because the RPM build process is all macros.)
