[Lustre-discuss] patchless client - could not determine kernel architecture

[Shantanu Pavgi]

Hi,

I am trying to build a patchless client for OpenSuse 11.1 machine. 
# uname -a 
Linux desktop6 2.6.27.23-0.1-default #1 SMP 2009-05-26 17:02:05 -0400 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I am getting following error while running configure command on lustre source code: 
# ./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.23-0.1 --with-linux-obj=/usr/src/linux-obj/i386/default

Any insights?
