kernel compilation error in centos 5.1

Hi guru,
I am trying to compile new kernel version linux-2.6.25.9.tar.bz2

In my operation when I run

Quote:

make rpm

After a long procedure following error appeared.

Quote:

kernel/capability.c:135: error: redefinition of ‘warn_deprecated_v2’
kernel/capability.c:72: error: previous definition of ‘warn_deprecated_v2’ was here

kernel/capability.c:153: error: previous definition of ‘cap_validate_magic’ was here
make[1]: *** [kernel/capability.o] Error 1
make: *** [kernel] Error 2

Can I get ride of this message....
also try

Quote:

make
make all

Same result..

Any help for me..

Did you make any changes to the kernel?

A much easier way would be to use yum. Moreover, go for linux-2.6.25.14.

Quote:

yum install kernel

I don't want to use yum.
I want to configure it my own way, cause yum kernel doesn't built the all feature.

ops! yes I just upload my current configuration...and nothing more..

I really didnt understand. Let me repeat, the changes you made must be effecting the compilation of the kernel either post your changes or look for mistakes and typos..

sorry! to bother you.
Actually I used this command

Quote:

cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config

to make a backup of my current configuration and in make menuconfig section I upload this file as alternative configurations file.
then save.

Is it enough inf.?

You should do this:

make clean in the source tree if you already have tried compilation
then
cp /boot/config /usr/src/linux/.config
or
zcat /proc/config.gz /usr/src/linux/.config
to copy the config from your current kernel to the fresh source tree.
make oldconfig to configure the new tree using te old config
make menuconfig - or whatever you prefer - to configure the kernel the way you want it
then
make ...
