Sir,
We are a group of students working on a LVS clusturing project.For the same we had downloaded the kernel 2.4.28 on a machine having kernel 2.4.20-8 Redhat 9(Distribution.).We are having AMD -K6 processor machine. The kernel 2.4.28 is now booting properly as I got so much of help from so many kind members of this forum.Now for the same we downloaded a package called ipvsadm-1.21.9.src.rpm (source rpm).But while converting it to real rpm (so that it can be installed) we faced errors:-

ven I created user Wensong using command adduser ,But
then the error Bad exit status -------------- is still
there.What could be the problem,sir
As one kind member suggested me that there could be problem that the kernel headers may not be in place.What does it meant.& how to do it.

It cannot find "net/ip_vs.h" which is a kernel include file.

Once you installed the src.rpm did it put the source in /usr/src/SOURCES( yours may be a little different)

does it have an option like --with-kernel-source=?

thank u sir for replying so quickly.
Sir we are using the command rpm -Uvh ipvsadm.src.rpm,As it wil create a spec file which should be in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS. In my case also ,it is there.After this I used rpm -ba spec file(from /usr/src/redhat/SPECS). It is not executing and also we had seen the /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 where the real rpm should get generated.It is also not there.Is it the problem of kernel file or I am doing something wrong.

Sir,
Also we want to tell u that we had checked the kernel file net/ip_vs.h it is there in /usr/src/linux/include/net.
