[Gluster-devel] getting --libdir passed.

[Kevan Benson]

Sorry, coming late into this conversation.

rpm --eval '%{_libdir}'

I was going through exactly this pain when I originally tried using the 
RPMs.  I spent enough time trying to get it separated out into separate 
client and server packages with different required (no fuse required for 
the server) that I decided my time was better spent doing testing and I 
just ended up ssh tar piping directory tries to servers to ease 
installations until I had a stable working glusterfs config and could 
focus on the RPM again.

I think I modified your specs fairly heavily Matt, but they may have 
changed quite a bit in the meantime (it was a few months ago).  I'll try 
to post my specs in a bit after comparing with what you guys have 
currently.  Maybe there will be something useful in there.
