In my RPM specfile (which is essentially a non-interactive installation 
in a non-standard location) I use the following:

%build
instdir=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/opt/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}
chmod u+x %{SOURCE0} %{SOURCE1}
%ifarch x86_64
echo $instdir | %{SOURCE1}
%else
echo $instdir | %{SOURCE0}
%endif

i.e. I install in /opt/chimera-1.2540-1/ under my build root. SOURCE0 
and SOURCE1 are the i386 and x86_64 packages straight off the website. I 
don't use any "interesting" flags though.
