Re: [fuse-devel] Compilation issue on RedHat Enterprise

[<David.Rogal@TelecityRedbus.com>]

Thanks for your input, but unfortunately that's what I did try:

--with-kernel=3D/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-42.0.2.EL

But, this is SMP and therefore the fuse kernel module is placed in =
'/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.2.EL' but running SMP kernel means that =
modutils stuff will look in '/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp'. I've =
tried loading the module from =
'/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.0.2.EL/kernel/fs/fuse' but it fails.

RedHat only provides kernel-devel not kernel-devel-smp. =
'http://www-theorie.physik.unizh.ch/~dpotter/howto/module' talked about =
getting the SRPM itself and make prepare on that, which I did. But, as I =
said, the fuse kernel module then ends up '/lib/modules/2.6.9-prep) =
which isn't the running kernel either.

David,
   as the configure script goes looks for the /usr/src/linux. you can
specify the kernel path in Redhat Enterprise servers as
/usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`/ . Check if you have source rpm of the
exact kernel source from the http://rhn.redhat.com/.
I have a working fuse.ko for RHEL AS Rel 4 (Nahant Update 3) and kernel
version is 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp
