Hi Nick,

good to hear that you had some partial success at least!

What about _not_ passing the --docdir configure option at all when
building for CentOS 5?
As I mentioned earlier I have not much experience when it comes to RPM
stuff, but maybe there is a way to check for the CentOS version within
the spec file, to decide if you should pass the --docdir or not.
If that is not possible you might need to create a dedicated SRPM for
each CentOS version.

Cheers,
Chris
