If you're trying to use these packages with glusterfs-3.7.x then I guess I'm not too surprised if something isn't working. Look for nfs-ganesha packages built against glusterfs-3.7.x in the CentOS Storage SIG or watch for the same on download.gluster.org. They're not there yet, but they will be eventually.

It seems that un-bunding the libntirpc causes this problem. Bisecting
the NFS-Ganesha package builds for the epel7 branch show this. Also,
re-bundling the libntirpc package makes nfs-ganesha-2.2.0 work again. I
do not know yet where the actual problem is, maybe the libntirpc package
in Fedora/EPEL does not work correctly, or there are some linker changes
needed for NFS-Ganesha to build against the non-bundled libntirpc.

I've only tested on CentOS-7 for now. Maybe the Fedora 22 libntirpc and
nfs-ganesha packages have the same problem?

In case someone cares, this is my patch against the current epel7
nfs-ganesha.spec: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/232837/44926521/
