Not usr/local/share, but /usr/share since it's a Mandrake rpm. this should
have been dealt with by our %configure and %makeinstall macros:

address@hidden failure]$ rpm -ql protux
/usr/bin/protux
/usr/lib/menu/protux
/usr/share/doc/protux-0.15.7
/usr/share/doc/protux-0.15.7/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/protux-0.15.7/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/protux-0.15.7/COPYRIGHT
/usr/share/doc/protux-0.15.7/README
/usr/share/icons/protux.png
/usr/share/protux
/usr/share/protux/help.text
/usr/share/protux/helpbg.jpg
/usr/share/protux/jmb.map
/usr/share/protux/protux.xpm
/usr/share/protux/protuxSplash.jpg

Yes, under the guise of %makeinstall, within the rpm spec file:

address@hidden failure]$ rpm --eval=%makeinstall

    make \
        prefix=/usr \
        exec_prefix=/usr \
        bindir=/usr/bin \
        sbindir=/usr/sbin \
        sysconfdir=/etc \
        datadir=/usr/share \
        includedir=/usr/include \
        libdir=/usr/lib \
        libexecdir=/usr/lib \
        localstatedir=/var/lib \
        sharedstatedir=/usr/com \
        mandir=/usr/share/man \
        infodir=/usr/share/info \
    install

An strace does show the app still is looking in /usr/local/share/protux,
even though %configure and %makeinstall would normally have addressed the
path issues:

address@hidden stew]$ rpm --eval=%configure

snip a bunch of compiler flags...

        --prefix=/usr \
        --exec-prefix=/usr \
        --bindir=/usr/bin \
        --sbindir=/usr/sbin \
        --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --datadir=/usr/share \
        --includedir=/usr/include \
        --libdir=/usr/lib \
        --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
        --localstatedir=/var/lib \
        --sharedstatedir=/usr/com \
        --mandir=/usr/share/man \
        --infodir=/usr/share/info

I'll take a closer look at the path issue, thanks.
