Were you trying to compile against one of the beta or RC1 releases? If so, the kernel for those versions have "pre" imbedded in the version name. This causes the ./configure script to choke when it tries to determine what kernel version you are using (it looks for an integer for each part). Anyway, you can modify the script and hard code the version name with the "pre" embedded in it (just remember to change it back when 9.1 is really released). Joeb
