[CentOS] Trying to build rpm-package

> + install -s -m 644 digitemp.1 /var/tmp/digitemp-buildroot/usr/local/man/man1/
> strip: /var/tmp/digitemp-buildroot/usr/local/man/man1/digitemp.1: File format not recognized

It is the -s option to 'install' that tells it to run strip.  This is
only for binaries and is invalid for text files.

The makefile should be patched to not strip anything at all, much less
manpages.

Also, rpms should install into %{_prefix} (/usr), not /usr/local.
