Well, it looks like the problem is specific to ia64 with 2.6 kernel.
The modversions.h in this configuration is located at: [# > locate modversions.h /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-3/include/config/modversions.h /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-3-mckinley/include/config/modversions.h /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8/include/config/modversions.h Where as in the corresponding configuration file of the package (src/config/param.ia64_linux26.h) it is uncommented the inclusion of the modversions header. [# > pwd /usr/src/modules/openafs [# > grep -r modversions.h . | grep ia64 ./src/config/param.ia64_linux26.h:/* #include <config/modversions.h> */ ./src/config/param.ia64_linux24.h:#include <linux/modversions.h> I believe that since it is not explicitly defined, it uses the default value for MODVERSIONS (linux/modversions.h) which is not correct. Thus, the building stops. I uncommented this line, made a dist clean and rebuild. Now it seems to finish the compilation successfully. BUT, it fails to install :( I get the following error. Any ideas? --- make[5]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-3-mckinley' echo 'char cml_version_number[]="@(#) OpenAFS 1.4.2 built ' `date +"%Y-%m-%d"` '";' >/usr/src/modules/openafs/src/libafs/MODLOAD- 2.6.8-3-mckinley-SP/AFS_component_version_number.c echo 'char* AFSVersion = "openafs 1.4.2"; '

Well, I'm running the backports.org OpenAFS right now, I don't have a linux/modversions.h header file, and it built fine for me, so I'm not sure why it's not working for you. I suppose it's distantly possible that there's something specific to ia64 here, but it seems unlikely. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
