Hello!

I am trying to install an *.srpm file.  Every time I try to recompile,
rebuild, or just install it, though, it tries to install into a path under
my home directory.  This happens whether I am myself or root.

I checked what I thought were the relevant shell variables, but they come up
empty.  I tried opening a new xterm to cleanse the varables, but that didn't
do it either.  Somehow something must have changed that path in my environment
in a way that I don't recognize.

I always thought that all SRPM files would be unpacked in the current
directory...

Thanks, in advance, for any help...

all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to.  It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
