[linux-lvm] Installing LVM on RH v7.3

[kevin at joubert.com]

I am having trouble installing LVM on RH v7.3 (2.4.18-10).

As I am pretty sure this has been discussed already, please excuse the question, but I can't
figure out how to search the "linux-lvm" archives. 

Anyway, I can run "configure" okay:
---------------------------------------
[root at localhost lvm]# pwd
/usr/local/bin/lvm
[root at localhost lvm]# /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/LVM/1.0.1/configure

But when I try to run "make" I get errors:

I did find this on the web, http://linux.msede.com/lvm_mlist/archive/2002/07/0144.html
which sounds like the guy knows how to fix it, but I sure can't figure out what he is talking
about. 

Anyone have any ideas?

-K.
