Regarding the AGBUILDROOT environment variable, see building from source 
code:
  http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/research/accessgrid/software/suse/
anyway that's the old approach, where the globus-accessgrid and 
AccessGrid-2.4 RPMs need to be built with the BuildSnapshot.py script, 
instead of using rpmbuild.

I now use real SRPMs to build everything and the SRPMs can be found here:
    http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/accessgrid3/fedora/

The AccessGrid-2.4 RPM is now obsoleted by compat-AccessGrid-2.4 which is no 
longer a monolythic RPM containing everything and the commands under 
/usr/bin have the .py suffixes replaced with 24 so as not to collide with 
the AccessGrid-3.0 commands.

if you want to build compat-AccessGrid-2.4 on Suse, grab the folllowing 
SRPMs:
  AccessGrid-rat
  AccessGrid-vic
  QuickBridge
  compat-AccessGrid-2.4
  globus-accessgrid
  pyOpenSSL_AG
  python-SOAPpy
  python-fpconst
then rpmbuild --rebuild them.
