It seams it is creating sybilic links in BUILDROOT.
I have seen similar threads before.But i am still not getting how to solve this problem. perhaps i need to a add some changes to install section of my spec file.
install section sample of my bzip2.spec file is as follows

Code:
%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
%makeinstall  DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT   PREFIX=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local

%clean

any help will be usefull Smilie
