[mvapich-discuss] Bug in mvapich2-1.6-0 make file.

[Mike Heinz]

When trying to build a variant RPM of mvapich2, I ran into this error:

Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.70358
+ umask 022
+ cd /var/tmp/QLogic-mvapich2/OFEDRPMS/BUILD
+ cd mvapich2-r4431
+ rm -rf /var/tmp/QLogic-mvapich2/build
+ make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/QLogic-mvapich2/build
Remove /usr/mpi/gcc/mvapich2-1.6/lib/libfmpich.so and rerun make install

make: *** [install-preamble] Error 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.70358 (%install)

Reviewing the makefile it appears the error is in install-preamble:

Adding the reference to DESTDIR allows the RPM to be rebuilt correctly.
