I originally sent this question to the spice-devel list but they told me I was better off to send it here... So here goes. I'm running into some problems installing Spice .4 on my CentOS 5.5. I was following the instructions here: http://www.spice-space.org/docs/spice_user_manual.pdf I've compiled and installed all the dependencies and have the spice client installed also, but ran into problems with the vdesktop. Specifically this portion of the instructions for my older kernel: > In case of an older kernel (version < 2.6.30) > Get kernel sources using the following git repository: > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.30.y.git > cd <spice_root>/vdesktop/kernel > ./configure > ln -s <linux-2.6.30 source dir> linux-2.6 > make sync > make I got the kernel source here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.30.tar.bz2 At which point I ran into a problem because I didn't have the source for the installed kernel 2.6.18-194.el5. I installed the devel-kernel from here: http://mirror.web-ster.com/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/CentOS/kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.el5.x86_64.rpm. Now when I run "make" it gives a number of errors: [root@localhost kernel]# make make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5/build M=`pwd` \ LINUXINCLUDE="-I`pwd`/include -Iinclude \ -Iarch/x86/include -I`pwd`/include-compat -I`pwd`/x86 \ -include include/linux/autoconf.h \ -include `pwd`/x86/external-module-compat.h" \ "$@" make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-194.el5-x86_64' LD /usr/local/src/spice_root/vdesktop/kernel/x86/built-in.o CC [M] /usr/local/src/spice_root/vdesktop/kernel/x86/svm.o In file included from <command line>:1: /usr/local/src/spice_root/vdesktop/kernel/x86/external-module-compat.h:12: error: redefinition of typedef ‘phys_addr_t’ include/asm/types.h:50: error: previous declaration of ‘phys_addr_t’ was here In file included from /usr/local/src/spice_root/vdesktop/kernel/x86/external-module-compat.h:16, from <command line>:1: /usr/local/src/spice_root/vdesktop/kernel/x86/../external-module-compat-comm.h:602: error: static declaration of ‘get_user_pages_fast’ follows non-static declaration include/linux/mm.h:856: error: previous declaration of ‘get_user_pages_fast’ was here In file included from /usr/local/src/spice_root/vdesktop/kernel/x86/external-module-compat.h:16, from <command line>:1: /usr/local/src/spice_root/vdesktop/kernel/x86/../external-module-compat-comm.h:710: error: conflicting types for ‘smp_call_function_many’ include/asm/smp.h:54: error: previous declaration of ‘smp_call_function_many’ was here In file included from /usr/local/src/spice_root/vdesktop/kernel/x86/external-module-compat.h:16, from <command line>:1: /usr/local/src/spice_root/vdesktop/kernel/x86/../external-module-compat-comm.h:1009: error: redefinition of ‘hlist_del_init_rcu’ include/linux/list.h:805: error: previous definition of ‘hlist_del_init_rcu’ was here make[3]: *** [/usr/local/src/spice_root/vdesktop/kernel/x86/svm.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/usr/local/src/spice_root/vdesktop/kernel/x86] Error 2 make[1]: *** [_module_/usr/local/src/spice_root/vdesktop/kernel] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-194.el5-x86_64' make: *** [all] Error 2 Am I using the wrong kernel source? If so, which source do I need to use? Or is this some scripting problem?
