Compile mhvtl 1.01 under oracle linux 6.0

[victor_mhvtl_2011]

Hello experts,
I had trouble compiling mhvtl 1.01 under oracle 6.0, the error messages are:
make -C kernel
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/mhvtl-1.1/kernel'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-100.28.5.el6.x86_64/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/mhvtl-1.1/kernel modules
make: Entering an unknown directory
make: Leaving an unknown directory
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/mhvtl-1.1/kernel'

I have installed kernel-devel, kernel source, how to correct the problem and proceed?

regards
Victor

I'm not sure what's different between my Oracle Linux install and yours, but it compiles fine.

Don't know anything wrong.
My output:
Under my /root/rpmbuild, only 2 dirs existed:
SOURCES SPECS
No BUILDS dire like you.

The '/root/rpmbuild' only contained the two directories until I ran the "mkdir BUILD" command.

Suddenly there were three :)

Do you have a list (from your Oracle 6.0) of the:
# rpm -qa --last | grep kernel

Cheers

I re-installed Oracle Linux - this time not selecting 'development' s/w selection.

I installed 'gcc' using "yum install gcc"

Installed 'zlib-devel' using "yum install zlib-devel"
User-space daemons now compiled without error.

Attempt to compile kernel module which resulted in the same error as reported.

Installed the 'kernel-devel' using "yum install kernel-uek-devel"
kernel module now compiles without error.

Fix: Install the kernel-development RPM to match your kernel.
