Doug, The configure scripts normally do not look at environment variables to figure things out. They normally use other methods. If it can't find the kernel source, then perhaps you don't have the kernel source RPM installed.
Do you want to know what version of the Linux distribution you're running, or do you want to know what version of the kernel you're running? For the latter, "uname -r" will tell you that. For the first, that is distribution-specific. Which one are you running?

One message I saw stated that I should "Consider using the --with-kernel_dir flag" and I have seen the "use with-kernel_dir flag" comment is other documentation. I assume that this is an environment variable but I don't know what steps I need to perform so that this is set. Also, what command can I execute to determine the version of Linux I am running? Thanks in advance for your help.
