Hi,
I found a strange problem with "%define" in .spec
file. my rpm version is 4.4.1-22.
The problem is: The defined value with '%define' can
not be refered -- see the mykver variable defined with
"%define" which trying to
represent kernel version like "26" or "24". But it
failed to be refered later and I had to comment
'%define' out
and directly put the expression in the "Release:"
statement.
I've seen a lot of '%define' in use in other .spec
files before, then what
is my problem?? Please help.

%define mykver %(echo `/bin/uname -r | /bin/cut -c1-3

You need to escape the backslash in the %define:
%define mykver %(/bin/uname -r|/bin/cut -c1-3|%{__sed} -e 's/\\.//g')
