[ovs-discuss] build openvswitch kernel module in ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS

[Hilman Fathurrahman]

sorry, i still get error message

at first try, i completed *./configure* process but i got error at *make*process
so i decided to delete the folder openvswitch-1.1.0pre2 and extract
openvswitch-1.1.0pre2.tar.gz again

but now i get the error message :

*root at NOX:/usr/local/openvswitch-1.1.0pre2# ./boot.sh*
*root at NOX:/usr/local/openvswitch-1.1.0pre2# ./configure
--with-l26=/lib/modules/openvswitch
--with-l26-source=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-30-generic*
.
*(skipped)*
.
*checking for Linux 2.6 build directory... /lib/modules/openvswitch*
*checking for Linux 2.6 source directory... configure: error:
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-30-generic is not a kernel source directory)*

I try to reinstall *linux-headers-2.6.32-30-generic, *but still get the same
error

thanks for your help :-)
