I saw something like that. Some of the configure tests were failing when they should have been passing because of errors like this: /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build/include/asm/rwsem.h: In function '__down_read': /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build/include/asm/rwsem.h:106: error: expected ':' or ')' before 'KBUILD_BASENAME' /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build/include/asm/rwsem.h: In function '__down_write': /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build/include/asm/rwsem.h:158: error: expected ':' or ')' before 'KBUILD_BASENAME' After adding some extra stuff to CFLAGS [ -DKBUILD_STR(s)=#s -DKBUILD_BASENAME=KBUILD_STR(empty) -DKBUILD_MODNAME=KBUILD_STR(empty) ] before testing for kernel features, the tests failed and passed when they should have. Sorry for glossing over that part. There were in fact two issues: configure not feature-testing correctly, and then the need for an additional feature test (for touch_atime). ==rob -- Rob Latham Mathematics and Computer Science Division A215 0178 EA2D B059 8CDF Argonne National Labs, IL USA B29D F333 664A 4280 315B _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-developers mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-developers
