Hello I have followed the the documentation you have provided, got the same result, version issue, here is the exact procedure I have followed. 1. Downloaded the latest stable kernel from kernel.org and applied the reiser4 patch. 2. Used the existing fedora config file as .config and added "CONFIG_REISER4_FS=y" in the filesystem section of the .config file 3. Complied and installed the new kernel without any error. 4. Rebooted the system from the newly installed kernel # uname -a Linux test01 2.6.31.4 #2 SMP Tue Oct 20 02:35:04 IST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 11 (Leonidas) 5. Downloaded the libaal from the following link http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/reiser4/libaal/libaal-1.0.5.tar.bz2 installed to /usr/local and added the lib path to ld.so.conf, the did an ldconfig 6. Downloaded reiser4progs from the following link http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/reiser4/reiser4progs/reiser4progs-1.0.7.tar.bz2 tried to install, CFLAGS="-fno-stack-protector -I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" ./configure got the same result (simple ./configure is also giving the same result) <snip> checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... no configure: WARNING: Can't detect right _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.

There is a fresh installation, after that did a yum update. Did i miss anything? I think there could be some issue of the installer part which checks the libaal version. Can u please have a look at it. If you want I can provide a temporary access to the system.
