Building LVM ona RH7.2 - errors

Good evening,

I tried building lvm-1.0.2 against a clean 2.4.17
kernel. I untarred the lvm tar.gz file as well as the 2.4.17 kernel (into /usr/src/linux-2.4.17.clean). Then I did a,

./configure --with-kernel_dir=/usr/src/linux-2.4.17.clean

from /usr/src/LVLM/1.0.2 I get the following errors during the configure process,

(sorry about the length). sed is not my string point at all. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

TIA,

Jeff

It looks like there's something funny with your kernel sources, maybe a space in the version number perhaps - check the Makefile.

I just tried a kernel.org kernel and 1.0.2 on RH 7.2 here and it's fine.

I'll try it again, but the kernel source was pristine. I untarred it to /usr/src/linux and mv'ed it to /usr/src/linux-2.4.17.clean.

Thanks

Jeff

guess redhat changed something with sed

try running
sh -x ./scripts/linuxver -d /usr/src/linux-2.4.17.clean and see if we can guess what's wrong (probably the sed)

try salvaging those conftest.s1 files before configure kills them and see what's in there.

also which version of sed are you runnging (rpm -q sed) and which version of autoconf, if you have it installed

last thing, try running autoconf in the base lvm source dir and see if configure works afterwards

Regards,
L.

[root@home2 1.0.2]# rpm -q autoconf

No joy, same error messages as before:

Thanks for the advice. Any ideas?
