[Lustre-discuss] Patchless client on RHEL6

[Götz Waschk]

Hi everyone,

I've tried to build the patchless client for Lustre 1.8.5 on RHEL6
with a plain ./configure
--with-linux=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-71.7.1.el6.x86_64

It fails like this:

make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-71.7.1.el6.x86_64'

Any idea?
