[Gluster-users] Unable to compile GlusterFS 3.5 on Raspbian (RaspberryPi)

[Prof. Dr. Christian Baun]

Hi,

I want to build up a Cluster of RaspberryPis and realize a distributed
and replicated storage with GlusterFS.

Raspbian contains GlusterFS 3.2.7 which is quite old. For this reason
I want to compile GlusterFS 3.5 on Raspbian but at the end of "make
install" I get an error message "py-compile: Missing argument to
--destdir.".

I carried out these steps:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y make gcc flex bison libssl-dev liblvm2-dev
libglib2.0-dev libxml2-dev python2.7 python2.7-dev autoconf libtool
$ wget http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.5/3.5.0/glusterfs-3.5.0.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf glusterfs-3.5.0.tar.gz
$ cd glusterfs-3.5.0/
$ ./autogen.sh

... GlusterFS autogen ...

Generate gf-error-codes.h ...
`gf-error-codes.h' -> `libglusterfs/src/gf-error-codes.h'
Running aclocal...
Running autoheader...
Running libtoolize...
Running autoconf...
Running automake...

Please proceed with configuring, compiling, and installing.

$ ./configure

Other people did also run into this problem. One example is here:

Does anybody here know how to fix this problem?

Thanks for any help.
