[Linux-streams] Unresolved error in inserting streams.o into kernel..

[Paul Landay]

Here are the steps I use to build LiS 2.18.0
on a RHEL3 2.4.21-xx.EL kernel:

- Make sure you have the same level of these RPMs installed:
one of these two:
kernel-2.4.21-xx.EL
kernel-smp-2.4.21-xx.EL
and also:
kernel-source-2.4.21-xx.EL
Do NOT do any 'make' commands within the /usr/src/linux*
directories. If any have been done, reinstall the
kernel-source RPM again (i.e. 'rpm -i --force ...').
In other words, make sure the /usr/src/linnux* directories
are just as RedHat left them, with no user changes.

- Build LiS with these commands:
# cd /usr/src
# tar -xzf LiS-2.18.0.tgz
# cd /usr/src/LiS-2.18
# PATH=$PATH:/sbin
# make
Select the default answer to all the questions.
The response after the third prompt should say:
Will use ///usr/src/linux-2.4.21-xx.EL/include for header files.
If it says something else, then check for any manually
created links in /usr/src (e.g. /usr/src/linux) which
may be confusing the LiS make procedure. On my RHEL3
systems there is only the /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-xx.EL
directory and a /usr/src/linux-2.4 link to that directory.
# make install
# modprobe streams
