Depending on who packaged things up and why, the RPM may not be
"relocatable" using the built-in features. It's kind of a rarely used
thing, actually, and I know on the Fedora side you're actively
discouraged from making use of it.

 

If you need everything residing under a single directory, it might be
best just to use it from the tarball. (Or if there's a site requirement,
roll your own RPM.)
