Dear Phil,

Thanks for the info, the option worked for me with 7.2.1 codebase, for
what its worth.  The 7.8.0 code with my patch works so far (with the very
limited tests I have done.) I'll be testing over several nodes this afternoon,
or tomorrow.

Here is a trivial patch to fix installation for RPM builds that use:
make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/pvfs-buildroot

Hi Tony,

I just wanted to mention that the second compile problem that you pointed out is from a code path that gets enabled with the --enable-mmap-racache option. That particular option is experimental and (as you have found) not well tested. I would not advise using it in a production setting.

Dear All,

The latest release of PVFS v2.8.0 is failing to compile for me under RHEL5:

$ uname -a
Linux ramones.ccr.buffalo.edu 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5PAE #1 SMP Mon Jan 26 14:18:23 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib \
--enable-perf-counters --enable-mmap-racache \
--enable-fast --enable-shared \
--with-kernel=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
Hi Tony.  I don't have a fix for you but it appears to be a problem
with '--enable-shared'.  Can you use static libraries until we send
you a fix?
