./configure --prefix=/usr/local/glusterfs-2.0.0rc7
make ; make install

fails with

since i don't have permission to write to /sbin, and
xlators/mount/fuse/utils/Makefile sets

utildir = $(destdir)/sbin

but destdir is not set to anything. i think destdir should be set to the eprefix specified by the configure script (which defaults to prefix).

this happens in rc9 too. one might think it isn't really a problem since one doesn't normally try and install gluster without root privileges. but that is not true. i want to install multiple copies of gluster on the same machine for testing. i want to install everything into /usr/local/glusterfs-2.0.0rc7 or /usr/local/glusterfs-2.0.0rc9 as an unprivileged user, and not have /sbin/mount.glustfs overwritten.

run ./configure --with-mountutildir=/different/path/ and your make should succeed.

thanks Amar that worked fine. it also craps out trying to install the init.d script:

make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/gluster-2.0.0rc9/extras/init.d'
mkdir -p -- /etc/init.d
/usr/bin/install -c ../../extras/init.d/glusterfsd-Redhat /etc/init.d/glusterfsd
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/etc/init.d/glusterfsd': Permission denied

i hunted high and low in the configure script but can't see any flags. also i promise this is the last problem, i manually fix it and everything else is fine.
