As I mentioned earlier I am not familiar with RPM .spec
configuration, but I guess you could try to fix this by editing the
line after "%{__make} install \"

In particular, remove the following:
bindir=%{_bindir} sbindir=%{_sbindir}
and see whether it will install the binaries under the default
/usr/local/xorp location.

In addition, you might have to comment-out all lines like the
following that refer to _bindir and _sbindir:
%attr(755,root,root) %{_bindir}/print_lsas

Also, you might need to edit the path to xorpsh.

If you get it to work this way, the result might not be exactly what
you want but is a starter :)
