Can anyone help out with this?
Walt
Hi Walt,
It's been awhile since we last spoke. I hope everything is going well!
I'm trying to install PVFS2 on our Apple cluster and I hit a snag. I
posted the email below to the mailing list, after havinng subscribed but
the message bounced back saying I'm not allowed to post to the mailing
list.
Anyway, I was hoping you could help.
Thanks,
Stephen

Subject: compile kernel module on powerpc64
Hello,
I'm trying to compile PVFS 2.6.3 on a powerpc64 machine (Xserve G5)
running yellow dog linux kernel version 2.6.22. I can compile the
server, configure and test it without problems in a cluster setup. The
problem occurs when I try to compile ther kernel module. Here are the
error messeges I'm getting:
WARNING: Symbol version dump
/lib/modules/2.6.22-0.ydl.rc4/build/Module.symvers
is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

Here's my configure command:
./configure --prefix=/local/software/pvfs-2.6.3
--with-mpi=/usr/local/mpich \
--with-kernel=/lib/modules/2.6.22-0.ydl.rc4/build
I looked on the mailing lists and found some comments last May about
problems building on powerpc64 but couldn't find an answer to the
problem. Is there anything I can do to get this to compile?
Thanks,
Stephen
