[OpenAFS] Compiling afs

[Tomas Andersson]

I had the same problem a while ago. I hope I remember what I did.
- First: Red Hat have a strange way of handling kernels at. I think
./configure search for headers by default at /usr/src/linux/include/linux.
One easy way of correcting the problem is to create a link to
/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-32 from /usr/src/linux. You could also try giving the
kernel header path as an option to ./configure. A third way is to install
the kernel source the right way.
- Second: Check what system configure detect. It is possible that you have
to manually give the system name as an option to configure.

Good luck
Tomas
