it seems that my problem is different, because when i look into
/var/tmp/pkgbuild-devel1/SFEtix-8.4.3-build/usr/, there is no share directory,
and bin is empty. In fact, playing with "make -n install" to see what files
will be installed, i notice that Tix will install everything in
/usr/lib/Tix8.4.3 and there are no man, and no share dirs. I have to understand
how to write the %files section.
Thanks for your reply,
