           Summary: sendmail path in torque.spec influenced by _prefix
           Product: TORQUE
           Version: 2.5.x
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

When using rpmbuild, the torque.spec file supplies its own
--with-sendmail=%{sendmail_path} parameter to configure (instead of letting
configure autodetect it).It expands to %{!?sendmail_path:%global sendmail_path
%{_sbindir}/sendmail}.

So it's either an user-supplied path, or _sbindir (which is already an
incorrect assumption). However, this is referring to the build's sbindir, not
the system's. We use --define "_prefix /opt/torque" to change the install path,
and apparently _prefix influences _sbindir, because all Makefiles get
SENDMAIL_CMD = /opt/torque/sbin/sendmail which is a nonexistent path.

My suggestion is to make the entire --with-sendmail configure parameter
optional, only instantiate it when the user provides a specific path, and leave
it up to the default configure behavior otherwise.
