Eugene, 'make check' before 'make install' will perform some symbol checks, but I have already run against that kernel in CentOS4 and WBEL4 clones of RHEL4.
'sudo make uninstall.log' uninstalls and tees output to uninstall.log. The install and uninstall processes are autoconf based and are clean and good at reversing the installation process. One warning: be careful about installing on a machine that has any release of LiS installed (because LiS will be largely removed during the installation process due to conflicts). So you can do (assuming you have sudo, su to root otherwise): wget http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/streams-0.7a.4.tar.bz2 tar -xjvf streams-0.7a.4.tar.bz2 mkdir build cd build ../streams-0.7a.4/configure make compile.log make check.log # <-- pre-installation checks sudo make install.log # <-- installs everything sudo make installcheck # <-- post-installation test suite sudo make retest # <-- if you have some sporadic test case failure sudo make uninstall.log # <-- removes it all cd .. rm -fr build # <-- remove build directory rm -fr streams-0.7a.4 # <-- remove source directory rm streams-0.7a.4.tar.bz2 # <-- remove tarball That should take you from scratch to scratch as though it was never installed on the system. If you want closer control, you can build rpms from the srpm as described in the manual and then use rpm -ivvv and rpm -evvv to ensure that the system is returned to its previous state. But it is harder to run the standalone testsuites (installed in /usr/libexec/streams). --brian On Fri, 03 Feb 2006, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > So, basically: > > > > wget [1]http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/streams-0.7a.4.tar.bz2 > > tar -xjvf streams-0.7a.4.tar.bz2 > > mkdir build > > cd build > > ../streams-0.7a.4/configure > > make compile.log > > sudo make install.log > > sudo make installcheck > I stopped before 'sudo make install.log' step and observed streams.ko > and bunch > of other .ko modules in the build directory. > Before installing all of that can I just do 'insmod streams.ko' to > see how is it going? > > Also, after install how do I remove all of that? > > -- > Eugene > _________________________________________________________________ > > Try the New Netscape Mail Today! > Virtually Spam-Free | More Storage | Import Your Contact List > [2]http://mail.netscape.com > > References > > 1. http://www.openss7.org/tarballs/streams-0.7a.4.tar.bz2 > 2. http://mail.netscape.com/ -- Brian F.
