I think the root of the problem is an additional '/' in configure.ac.

As I can see the determination of the $piddir has been changed in 3.2.2. 
Trunk and 3.2.1 has an other solution without this problem,  I guess 
there is a good reason why 3.2.2 is different, unfortunately it has this 
small issue.


After delete it and run autoconfig installation (in my case RPM build) 
will run without any problem.


Here is the patch (remove the '/' after $piddir value):
