The solution for building the 1.30.10 tarball directly via rpmbuild on FC9 is to remove the "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" option from the RPM default macros. This is accomplished by editing the "/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros", and modifying the "%__global_cflags" line. After that, it compiles and builds the RPMs cleanly. I didn't have any other problems with objects not being installed properly - after installing the newly-built RPM on my servers and clients (all FC9), i had an AFR cluster set up and functional in about 15 minutes, without jumping through any additional hoops in this regard. The only odd thing that i did was to install the FC9 Fuse packages via Yum first, then i "upgraded" to the Gluster fuse packages (also built by me on FC9) after the fact. This seemed to work quite nicely. :) -- Daniel Maher <dma AT witbe DOT net>
