[Lustre-discuss] Has anyone built 1.8.5 on Centos 5.6?

[Michael Di Domenico]

Thanks.  Looks like my previous error was just a duplicate export
symbol which cleaned up the compile (thought the rpm didn't build
quite right, didnt get an initrd file).

I'd like to use the stock lustre-1.8.5 source tree rather then git
clone (appeases management better), but i did not get a chance to
compile that before i left the office for the day, will try tomorrow.

worst case I'll fall back to the git clone, but it's good to hear
others have success.
