Configure problems

by Ken Hilliard :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

I'm using RedHat FC2, kernel version 2.6.5-1.358. I downloaded cipe 1.6
and unziped it into a tmp directory. I then created a symlink 'linux'
that pointed to my kernel source directory:

     cd /usr/src
     ln -s linux-2.6.5-1.358 linux

I went back to the temp cipe directory and ran

     ./configure

I got the following error message:

        ...error: no suitable configured kernel source tree found

The source code is installed. I can run xconfig to check the kernel's
current configuration. I have no idea what to do. I saw several post
with this same problem but did not see any solutions.

                                Help!

Does your

/usr/include/linux point to /usr/src/linux/include/linux ?

Stephan,

In Fedora Core 2 both of the directories you referenced are directories
that contain actual include files. It does look like they contain
similar files but with different creation dates and sizes. Do I have to
move the contents of "/usr/include/linux" to some new location and
create a symlink to "/usr/src/linux/include/linux"? Is this
requirement/procedure documented somewhere? I don't have any experience
doing kernel rebuilds. Much thanks for the help.

                                        regards, Ken

Hi Ken,

generally - not only for this case - you should have a link there. The files
almost all distros have copied there belong to their respective kernels, but
kernel.org (or others) may well vary. This is why you should link the trees if
starting to compile own kernels. Applications using these includes depend on
them fitting your kernel.
Let me stress: I do not know if this cures your problem, but nevertheless the
hint per se is correct.

Regards,
Stephan
