Many thanks at all for the quickly answers.

The kernel sources was present but after the treatment suggested by Christof the openafs configuration run successfully on the 64bit openSUSE 10.2.
  
cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make scripts
make init

I installed the openafs in e.g. /opt/openafs (./configure --prefix=/opt/openafs ) because the default installation location /usr/local is an NFS mounted file system in my case.
    Now, I tray to understand the detailed installation procedure described in the OpenAFS Documentation. I would prefer also a quick install procedure.
Best regards

That has nothing to do with 64bit.
You need to create the kernel-headers.
make sure you installed the kernel-source rpm.
Then go to /usr/src/linux
and run
make cloneconfig
make scripts
make init

then the configure of openafs should work fine.

HTH,

Christof
