The current pvfs2 release is 2.7.0, and is needed by mpich2 1.0.6 to create a proper shared lib (there's a little API mix-up in 2.6.3). However, when I use the current ebuild, minus a couple of deprecated patches, it fails without a usefull error message. I tried making several changes, and the econf at the top of src_compile is apparently redundant, but nothing I tried seems to make a difference (it just fails in a slightly different place). It configures and builds nicely by hand, so presumably a simpler ebuild would work, ie, it seems to break on the linux-mod eclass. I'll attach the logs and the basic ebuild (sans tweaks).

Created attachment 137198 [details] build log It's not much help for me, but maybe someone else can see something...
Created attachment 137199 [details] updated ebuild (non-working) This one looks like it should work, in theory...
There's no sys-cluster/pvfs2-2.7.0 anywhere in the official tree.
Call it a version bump then, but it's required for a working mpich2, and pvfs2 is the preferred/most-used parallel fs (at least for people who can't afford myrinet or other expensive cluster hardware). Since I can't see anything obviously wrong with the ebuild, I was hoping hp-cluster and/or kernel people would take a look at it (it's hp-cluster's ebuild anyway :).
I suppose you'd get something actually more useful w/ MAKEOPTS="-j1"
The problem is upstream included a bunch of dependency (*.d) files in the release which are not getting automatically regenerated. The quick solution is to either remove them, or make clean before any attempt to build the source code. The old init scripts aren't going to work in this release either, as they've moved to a single configuration file. There are scripts included to create the new config file from the old ones luckily. http://www.beowulf-underground.org/pipermail/pvfs2-users/2007-November/002187.html I'll work on this later if no one else is interested.
Okay, I just noticed there's a new config setup, so I've added a pkg_config section to run the generator script. However, I'm not all that familiar yet with this package, so how would you like to modify your server init script? Should I just remove the test for the second config file? I have a little time this morning, so I'll be testing some hacks...
Created attachment 137487 [details] Updated ebuild (works)
Created attachment 137488 [details, diff] makefile patch adds --libdir detection so the install works properly.
This is now in the tree, with basically the same set of client/server init and config files from the previous version. I also added a config function that creates a new style config, along with a message about running the conversion tool on existing config files (from any existing previous version). I'd like Justin and anyone else who's been running the older setup to check it out and submit a new bug if necessary. Thanks and have fun...
