You must add --with-core-mod and it starts to rip. Vlad, I think configure should be smart enough to know that selecting any modules should enable core, too. OK? However, I noticed that 2.6.21 isn't supported yet (build actually fails). I'll try to add support by Monday, for now latest supported kernel is 2.6.20.y. > I didn't save the first set of configure output :( Subsequent configures > give: Yes, it's a known limitation currently. There are 3 possible work-arounds: - remove the build directory and re-open it - run >quilt pop -a >rm -fr patches .pc before second configure run - add --without-patch to second configure run (only works if you did not change the kernel version to build for) -- MST _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
