Well today I was trying to install s3fs on a centos 6.2 server . So first of all I try this
yum install gcc libstdc++-devel gcc-c++ curl-devel libxml2-devel openssl-devel mailcap fuse fuse-devel
wget http://s3fs.googlecode.com/files/s3fs-1.61.tar.gz
tar xvzf s3fs-1.61.tar.gz
cd s3fs-1.61/
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
However the configure wasn’t working because of fuse version. I have installed 2.8.3 and I need 2.8.4
So the solution was to recompile the fuse also
yum remove fuse fuse* fuse-devel
yum install gcc libstdc++-devel gcc-c++ curl curl* curl-devel libxml2 libxml2* libxml2-devel openssl-devel mailcap
cd /usr/local/src
wget "https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/fuse/fuse-2.X/2.8.4/fuse-2.8.4.tar.gz?r=&ts=1299709935&use_mirror=cdnetworks-us-1"
tar -xzvf fuse-2.8.4.tar.gz
rm fuse-2.8.4.tar.gz
mv fuse-2.8.4 fuse
cd fuse/
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/
ldconfig
modprobe fuse
pkg-config --modversion fuse (confirm that 2.8.4 is the version displayed)
cd ../
cd s3fs-1.61/
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
