[Pvfs2-users] configure: error: The kernel source tree does not appear to be 2.6

Since you have successfully run the configure command with the --with-kernel
option, you can disregard these instructions.

Hello and thanks for replying,

 

if i execute "make oldconfig",

is that command going to configure the kernel using some old parameters from
an old configuration file?

 

Cause i wouldn't like to make some changes that are going to affect others
work.

Cause a lot of people are working on the same machine.

 

Is that command harmless?

 

Thanks, in advance

It looks like you are using a vanilla kernel that does not yet have all the
.h files in place that OrangeFS needs. If that is the case, these commands
should work.

 

cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source

make oldconfig

 

Then build OrangeFS using --with-linux=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/source

Try --with-kernel=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/source

 

Hope that helps,

Hello,

 

i'm using pvfs2 and i'm trying to load the kernel module

So i did:

 

1st try:

 

//print version

 

[~]      cat /proc/version

Linux version 2.6.35.7-23Mar  (gcc version 4.1.2 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48))  

[~]     cd /usr/pvfs-2.8.1 

[pvfs-2.8.1]      sudo ./configure
--with-kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35.7-23Mar

Checking ... (etc)

ERROR: configure: error: The --with-kernel path /boot/vmlinuz-
2.6.35.7-23Mar  is not a directory.

 

 

2nd try:

 

[pvfs-2.8.1]      sudo ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-2.6.35.7

Checking ... (etc) 

ERROR: 

grep: /usr/src/linux-2.6.35.7/include/linux/utsrelease.h: No such file or
directory

configure: error: The kernel source tree does not appear to be 2.6

 

So what shall i do in order to fix that?

 

Thanks, in advance
