Correct, but in this case you can probably get away with changing the
version requirements to 1.41.12 -- we don't require the Lustre e2fsprogs
to build, but we do want to be somewhat recent. It would probably build
with the e2fsprogs from RHEL5.5, but I've never tried to build on
RHEL5.5.
Also, if one does a bootstrap on a new enough machine and tars that up,
it should build on older distros as long as a new enough e2fsprogs-devel
is installed.
Hope this helps,
