Hi Dongsheng,

Thank you very much for your reply!

The build directory seems not empty. This is what I used to verify:

openvswitch-1.4.1$ uname -r
2.6.32-37-generic

openvswitch-1.4.1$ ls -la /lib/modules/2.6.32-37-generic/build/

I was running openvswitch 1.1 on the system, which was previously
installed by someone else. Now I would like to upgrade to 1.4.1, and
trying to install it myself.

As I do not yet have much experience on system installation, I guess I
must have made some dumb mistakes. I really appreciate your help!

Thanks!
Yimin
