You cut off the real error message but most likely you need this patch: http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=commit;h=6c4ea27c48b30eaec8e37e642d5072f53c5b2670 It resulted from an additional backport in Centos 6.3. Alternately, you can use the version from the 1.8 release branch in git. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
