Hi guys, Yep.. The kernel.m4 tests dont do the right thing on ppc64 (even on x86_64 I had this problem I think) probably the kernel headers are not sanitized for -Werror? I sent an email about these problems a while back http://www.beowulf-underground.org/pipermail/pvfs2-developers/2006-April/001970.html Thanks, Murali
