[ovs-discuss] OVS 1.7.0 on CentOS 6.3 build errors

[rh ev]

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to install OVS on CentOS 6.3. I am using the rhel install
instructions but am getting the following error when I try to run "rpmbuild
-bb rhel/openvswitch-kmod-rhel6.spec". I am able to successfully build the
openvswitch-1.4.2-1.x86_64.rpm and openvswitch-debuginfo-1.4.2-1.x86_64.rpm
files. This is for 1.7.0 and I have also tried with 1.4.2 and get the same
error. I think I must be missing a package or something but I'm not sure
which.

I have also tried the generic Linux install and I get the same error when I
run ./configure --with-linux....

Error:

If anyone has any help or suggestions that would be great!


Thanks,
