[Pvfs2-users] configure: error: The kernel source tree must have been configured.

[Phil Carns]

I don't think that 'make menuconfig' is necessary for a standard redhat 
kernel.

What is the output of these three commands on your system?

uname -r
rpm -q kernel-smp-devel
rpm -q kernel-smp

The first command tells you the version number of the kernel that you 
are running.  That same version number needs to show up in the output of 
the other two commands (to show that you have a matched set of 
development headers installed).

Once those look right, you should be able to use
--with-kernel=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build for your configure argument.
