[OpenAFS] Problem with starting up Open AFS.

[Madhusudan Singh]

Hi,
	I did not. But now I installed the source rpm. My /usr/src
listing is (now) :

[root@guo src]# ls -l
total 8
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 Aug  9 00:36 linux-2.4 -> linux-2.4.2
drwxr-xr-x   16 root     root         4096 Aug  9 00:36 linux-2.4.2
drwxr-xr-x    7 root     root         4096 Jul 26 20:35 redhat

./configure --with-kernel-headers=/usr/src/linux-2.4

yields :
checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no
checking your OS... configure: warning: No usable linux headers found at
/usr/src/linux so disabling kernel module
linux
checking your AFS sysname... configure: error: Couldn't guess your Linux
version. Please use the --with-afs-sysname option to configure an AFS
sysname.


What could be wrong ?

Thanks,

Madhusudan Singh.
