2.6.32 was the kernel for Ubuntu lucid (10.04); precise (12.04) uses kernel 3.2.0 (or newer, if you install one of the backported kernels from later releases; 3.13.0 would be the obvious choice at the moment). 10.04 reached EOL (even for server installations) a few months ago, which means that the package repository may soon disappear from ftp.ubuntu.com. (It was still there a few minutes ago, though.) If you really need to continue supporting 10.04, make sure you've got your own mirror. If you've been running precise with a lucid kernel, you may want to try upgrading the kernel. > Are there some instructions I should be following rather than > http://wiki.openafs.org/HowToBuildOpenAFSFromSource/ ? I'll second Ben Kaduk's suggestion to build the Debian packages. I normally use pbuilder so that there are no extraneous packages present during the build that could affect the output of ./configure, but if you don't have the time to set that up Ben's recipe will do. There may be issues with the version of debhelper (openafs 1.6.15 requires debhelper >= 9, Ubuntu lucid has version 7.4) but those can be solved. (I see I've got a lucid backport of debhelper 9.20120115ubuntu3 in my private repo; probably a trivial one.) Occasionally one may need to tweak a source package when backporting, but for openafs there is rarely much to do. Version 1.6.15-1 will build as is on Ubuntu trusty; I haven't had the need to try older releases. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
