[Pvfs2-users] Installation: pvfs2-cp fails

[Murali Vilayannur]

Hi Matt,
Is this a ppc64 machine/cluster?
If yes, then this bug has been fixed in cvs and you can find patches for
1.4.0 here
http://www.beowulf-underground.org/pipermail/pvfs2-users/2006-March/001263.html
If not, then we would need your help investigating this.. Could you turn
on verbose logging on server and send the logs (offlist if need be)?
Alternatively, if you are comfortable installing CVS head, please do so
and let us know if the errors persist.
Thanks,
Murali
