Thanks for the reply,

Did you compile the e2fsprogs first ? as this seems to be the only place where 
I can get the library libblkid.a from . My last mail to group showed that if 
you try to install the lustre tools first even with --disable-liblustre it 
fails to compile and complains about the missing 64bit archive libblkid.a .

I managed to compile the e2fsprogs with --disable-lfsck but found the default 
compile is 32bit using Redhat RHEL4.4 PPC64( I checked by doing a objdump -f of 
the libblkid.a file) 

If I try to compile in 64bit the e2fsprogs fails with 

./configure --disable-lfsck CC='cc -m64' LD='ld -melfppc64'

Then make I get the following result :-( 


        CC mke2fs.c
        CC util.c
        LD mke2fs
        CC badblocks.c
In file included from ../lib/ext2fs/ext2_fs.h:19,
                 from badblocks.c:55:

/usr/include/asm-ppc64/types.h:36: error: previous declaration of '__u64' was

../lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h:114: error: conflicting types for '__s64'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/scr2/src/lustre-1.4.7.3/e2fsprogs-1.39.cfs1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

But at this stage it has created a 64bit libblkid.a which I can use to complete 
the compile of lustre ( if I manually copy it to the right place :-) ), what I 
do not know is what this may impact and I do not like this as a fix to my 
problems even though the testing of the product seems to work ok.

thanks

Arun

Compile problems



we're running sles 9 on our js-21 blades and were able to get 1.4.7.1 to 
go though we had to disable liblustre in the process.  not sure if this 
was suggested on list or not, but it worked for us.

All the best!
