Hi Amit,

I think the output of those commands tells us the problem. You are running kernel version 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL, but the only kernel-smp-devel package that you have installed is 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL.

That needs to be resolved by one of the following options:

a) switching which kernel you are running to 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL to match your kernel-smp-devel package b) installing kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL to match the kernel you are running

The a) option is probably the best choice since it looks like you have the right packages installed for it anyway; your machine is just booted into the older kernel for some reason. I don't recall how redhat handles its kernels, but it may be that you just need to reboot the box and you it will automatically come up with the 0.10 one. Otherwise you would need to adjust your grub configuration to tell it to boot with the 0.10 one.

At any rate, once you have the output of "uname -r" matching one of the results of "rpm -q kernel-smp-devel" then you should be all set to configure pvfs.

I don't think that 'make menuconfig' is necessary for a standard redhat
kernel.

What is the output of these three commands on your system?

uname -r
rpm -q kernel-smp-devel
rpm -q kernel-smp

The first command tells you the version number of the kernel that you
are running.  That same version number needs to show up in the output of
the other two commands (to show that you have a matched set of
development headers installed).

Once those look right, you should be able to use
--with-kernel=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build for your configure argument.

Hi Phil,

What does the "build" in "--with-kernel=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build"
should be substituted with: Becasue I don't have a "build" directory or
file as such, nor even does the kernel directory under that path has any
'build directory' or 'linux-2.6' directory ...

Can you please throw some more insight!! below is the info asked.

Thank you,
