[Linux-cluster] ./configure, make , make install problem on gentoo linux with a 2.6.11 kernel

[James Eastman]

All:

I hope this email finds you doing well.  As you have probably already guessed, I am having issues getting GFS to build/install properly.  My plans for my 5 GFS enabled boxes is to use them as an Oracle 10g grid.  Yet I digress ... Here's OS specs on my machine(s):

oragrid5 root # uname -a
Linux oragrid5.corp.fedex.com 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 #1 SMP Mon May 2 11:07:22 CDT 2005 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
oragrid5 root #

As you can see I'm running a 2.6.11 kernel.  So I decide to get the latest CVS snapshot and began my compiling adventure.  Here're the CVS comands I ran to get the latest source code:


cvs -d :pserver:cvs at sources.redhat.com:/cvs/cluster login cvs
cvs -d :pserver:cvs at sources.redhat.com:/cvs/cluster checkout cluster/gfs
cvs -d :pserver:cvs at sources.redhat.com:/cvs/cluster checkout cluster/gfs-kernel
cvs -d :pserver:cvs at sources.redhat.com:/cvs/cluster checkout cluster/gfs2
cvs -d :pserver:cvs at sources.redhat.com:/cvs/cluster checkout cluster/gfs2-kernel

Thus I believe I have the latest available code.  So, I begin my adventure with ./configure --kernel_src=/usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r6	 .

Here's what I see:

oragrid5 cluster # ./configure --kernel_src=/usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r6

Oh the sweet smell of ./confugre success.  This causes me to be confident.  Thus, my next step is to do a make.  Here's what I see:

oragrid5 cluster # make
cd cman-kernel && make install sbindir=/root/cluster/build/sbin libdir=/root/cluster/build/lib mandir=/root/cluster/build/man incdir=/root/cluster/build/incdir module_dir=/root/cluster/build/module sharedir=/root/cluster/build slibdir=/root/cluster/build/slib DESTDIR=/root/cluster/build

ln -s . cluster

Huh?  I don't get it.  My configure worked smoothly.  Also, I have ALL of the lvm2 and device mappper stuff compiled into the kernel.  Further I've done an 'emerge lvm2' and an 'emerge device-mapper' to get the OS parts for those tools installed.  I know this is probably a very simple and possibly previously answered questsion.  Any help with this or directions to the already existing thread that may help solve my problem are greatly appreciated.
