Hi Steve-

I think libtirpc-devel installs the tirpc headers in the wrong place. The #include directives in the headers themselves expect them to appear under /usr/include, not under /usr/include/tirpc, so my builds fail when trying to include these headers.

For example, /usr/include/tirpc/rpc/rpcb_clnt.h does a "#include <rpc/ rpcb_prot.h>" -- and the build chokes because that header is actually in /usr/include/tirpc/rpc/rpcb_prot.h.

Now, I can probably fix this temporarily by adding "-I /usr/include/ tirpc" to my build. However:

1. On Solaris, these all appear under /usr/include, there is no /usr/ include/tirpc.

2. libtirpc-devel installs a bunch of files that already exist, such as /usr/include/rpc/auth.h, in /usr/include/tirpc/rpc/auth.h.

It would be cleaner to have one place for nfs-utils to look for these headers, so I don't want to permanently add "-I /usr/include/tirpc" or autoconf magic to find the right path unless we decide /usr/ include/tirpc is the final location for these files.

So I think applications in general will expect to find these under / usr/include, not under /usr/include/tirpc.

Comments?
