    Ok so now I have a spec file that looks like this ( I am not doing a
    build of the binaries or the install just package up in an rpm)
    BuildRoot:/var/pbiace/rel_2003_10

    %build

    %install

    %files

    /bin/*
    /cdunix/*
    /cfg/*
    /lib/*
    /ndm/*
    /transfer/*

    and the error is File not found by glob: /var/pbiace/rel_2003_10/bin/*
    (for each one)
    /var/pbiace/rel_2003_10 is the installation target directory not the
    pick up area. I have moved the binaries to the %_topdir/BUILD
    directory in the /var/pbiace/rel_2003_10 directories.

    here is the output from the build:

    + umask 022
    + cd /export/home/ca6459/ccm_wa/ace/ace#ca6459_2003_09/ace/test2/deploy/BUILD
    + exit 0
    + umask 022
    + cd /export/home/ca6459/ccm_wa/ace/ace#ca6459_2003_09/ace/test2/deploy/BUILD
    + exit 0
