[Pacemaker] Pacemaker Build Issues on CentOS 5.3 64-bit

[Eliot Gable]

When building Pacemaker (1-0-78e8ab00359a) on CentOS 5.3 64-bit, I run into all sorts of errors. First, the compiler flag '-Werror' is enabled. On CentOS 5.3, gcc issues a warning when you drop a const qualifier on a pointer, which Pacemaker code seems to do all over the place (why does it do that, btw? It breaks good coding practices); so gcc terminates compilation of Pacemaker when encountering these issues.

Once I modify configure.ac to remove this flag and regenerate everything, I run into linking errors because the Makefile LIBS= line tells Pacemaker to use /usr/lib and /lib64 instead of /usr/lib64 and /lib64. I tried to fix this in configure.ac, but I'm not really an expert when it comes to manipulating configure.ac files, so I couldn't get it to work. Instead, I find myself manually modifying nearly every Makefile that gets generated to make it use /usr/lib64 instead of /usr/lib.

If someone could fix these issues quickly, it would save everyone using CentOS lots of time and headache trying to make this work. :) I would be more than happy to test any modifications for anyone willing to try to fix it.
