I am not a software pro so forgive my question. I am attempting to install FUSE 2.3.0 on a standard SuSE 9.3 i386 online updated To get ./configure to work, I had to install the kernel source rpm and use the ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux The next problem is with makejohn1:/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/FUSE/fuse-2.3.0 # make Making all in kernel make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/FUSE/fuse-2.3.0/kernel' make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/FUSE/fuse-2.3.0/kernel modules make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.11.4-21.7' Makefile:494: .config: No such file or directoryThe problem seems to be, that the config file is missing from the kernel. You can usually find it in /boot/config-KERNELVERSION. Try copying this file to the the kernel source directory and rename it to '.config'. Than do a 'make prepare'. After this retry the FUSE build. I don't have a SuSE system, so others may have better ideas. Miklos
