Re: RPMMakefile fails after starting Makefile.Release target: create_ProductVersionFile

I have seen the messages John saw - I recall working around the problem, 
but don't recall the details.  I agree with him that this is not related 
to PEGASUS_PLATFORM.  Looking at mak/config.mak, I believe that an 
unexpected value for PEGASUS_ROOT will not cause any sort of error 
message, but will cause cause PLATFORM_FILES to be set incorrectly - 
which in turn cases VALID_PLATFORMS to have a value of ".".  This may be 
the first symtom of missetting PEGASUS_ROOT - so double check that you 
have that set to the base of the pegasus distribution and that the mak 
sub-directory is readable.

I am now recalling this symptom showing up when I has pegasus source on 
a shared directory - the "~" shell operator was now working as expected 
and I have to specify the full path in PEGASUS_ROOT.  But this is a 
fuzzy recollection.

Try running make with the "-d" (debug)  or "-n" (dry-run) option to see 
how make is interpreting the internal variables.

Hope this helps in troubleshooting!  Just keep telling yourself "make is 
fun" :-)
