PCP is not a relocatable RPM because relocatable RPMs seem to need a 
single point of install (so you can move, for e.g. /usr to /usr/local
or something). Since PCP has multiple install dirs, it can't be
relocated in this way - it's not the only RPM package with this problem.

Instead, you need to edit src/include/pcp.conf.in and change whatever
directories you need relocated, and then build your own RPM.
