Problem

I'm trying to build an RPM from binaries on a REDHAT 6 system. I have all the files included in the `%files` section (`find /path/to/fake/install -type f >> specfile`) When I run `rpmbuild -bb specfile --target x86_64` I get ``` Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /path/to/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/Package-1.0.0-1.el6.x86_64 error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: RPM build errors: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: ``` Note that no files are listed in the error message. I'm not sure what's wrong, any ideas?
