[Pvfs2-users] PVFS v2.8.0 compile problems

[Tony Kew]

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
