RE: [Fault-injection-developer] Couple of issues downloading and building the FITH source code

Thanks Rob for his push! :) 
We've made FITH conformable to Red hat 8.0. Now, it is conformable to ISO
C99, aclocal 1.6, autoconf 2.53, automake 1.6. But, kernel with Red hat 8.0
is not suitable for compiling and running FITH because DProbes and some
symbol exports are needed. The CGL precompiled kernel is most suitable for
that. :) http://builds.developer.osdl.org/index.php?ver=v1_0&type=stable

Subject: Re: [Fault-injection-developer] Couple of issues downloading and
building the FITH source code

Ran into a problem...

Since we are targeting any Linux kernel developer & not just developers
using CGLE, I tried to build FITH on my CoosBay (Intel P4 DP SMP box)
running RedHat 8.0.

After making sure that the appropriate shared libraries/packages were
installed (i.e. libdissasm, libxml2, etc.), I attempted to get the
./configure script built by running Makefile.cvs file. Below was error
output.

NOTE: When we get around to packaging up a source tarball, we need to
include ./configure script already built, so they can just run it and
then do a Make all.
