[Lustre-discuss] building against kernel-lustre-source

[Aaron Knister]

I've downloaded the kernel-lustre-source packge for rhel5-x86_64. I'm  
wanting to build some modules against the pre-patched source and then  
also build lustre from it. When I try to build lustre using the  
command ./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/ 
linux-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5_lustre.1.6.3 --with-linux-obj=/usr/src/ 
linux-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5_lustre.1.6.3-obj/x86_64/smp/ I get this error--

checking that modules can be built at all... no
configure: WARNING: Consult config.log for details.
configure: WARNING: If you are trying to build with a kernel-source  
rpm, consult build/README.kernel-source

I tried the instructions on the lustre wiki to build against the  
kernel source but to no avail.

Any ideas?
