    Hi
    I now also tried what was siggested in the FAQ:
    https://upc-bugs.lbl.gov//blcr/doc/html/FAQ.html#unconfig
    
    But even though my kernel is 2.6.30,, it said
      make: *** No rule to make target `modules_prepare'.  Stop.
    when i tried make 'modules_prepare'.
    
    However, I got some compilation going when i typed 'make prepare scripts'
    
    Now my configure goes on for a bit longer, but then it fails:
    /home/jody/Desktop/blcr-0.8.2/conftestdir/conftest.mod.c:8: error:
    variable '__this_module' has initializer but incomplete type
    /home/jody/Desktop/blcr-0.8.2/conftestdir/conftest.mod.c:9: error:
    unknown field 'name' specified in initializer
    /home/jody/Desktop/blcr-0.8.2/conftestdir/conftest.mod.c:9: warning:

    make[1]: *** [/home/jody/Desktop/blcr-0.8.2/conftestdir/conftest.mod.o] Error 1
    make: *** [modules] Error 2
    make: Leaving directory `/tmp/linux-2.6.30'
    configure: error: Failed test run of kernel make/kbuild failed (see above)
    
    This happens during
      make -f /tmp/linux-2.6.30/scripts/Makefile.modpost
    
    Any ideas?
    
    Jody
