Hi there!

Well I checked out how linux base does it, and it's like this:

rpm --root /usr/compat/linux --ignoreos --install <rpmfile>

However, the linux_base port also cleaned out /usr/compat/linux/tmp,
/usr/compat/linux/var/tmp, /usr/compat/linux/dev, etc., which can
cause the installation scripts of your rpm to complain quite loudly
and fail anyway. For xview I made temporary versions of these dirs
and files (and no, you cannot symlink them because the --root flags
does a chroot). It's not nice, so if anyone knows a BETTER way to
do this, I'm interested. But xview works.

Greetings,
Seb*
