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 Amit,

Did you try 'make menuconfig' inside the kernel source tree?

    Hi Rob,

    I applied the patch you pointed me to:
    http://www.pvfs.org/fisheye/rdiff/PVFS?csid=MAIN:pcarns:20080227143031&u&N
    <http://www.pvfs.org/fisheye/rdiff/PVFS?csid=MAIN:pcarns:20080227143031&u&N>

    And the system that I am working on already has kernel-smp-devel
    installed.
    Info is as shown below:

    ###############
    # rpm -qi kernel-smp-devel

    Summary     : Development package for building kernel modules to
    match the
    SMP kernel.
    Description :
    This package provides kernel headers and makefiles sufficient to build
    modules
    against the SMP kernel package.

    Do I need to upgrade kernel-smp-devel ?

    Seems like I must be doing something silly, any thoughts?

    Thank you,
