Hi everyone!
When trying to rebuild BestCrypt with
rpmbuild --rebuild BestCrypt-1.5-5.src.rpm
on SuSE 9.1 I'm getting the following errors:
[...]

--------------
OK, so I suppose it fails because my kernel doesn't have loadable modules support.
But I'm quite sure that the standard SuSE 9.1 kernel _has_ support for that, so what am I supposed to do to get this working?
As the Jetico site proposes, I tried to run
make mrproper && make dep in /usr/src/linux; I also tried it with make cloneconfig && make dep, but this didn't change a thing.
As I have no experience with kernel compiling, I'd be grateful for some hints!
Thanks a lot in advance!
