[Spice-devel] Spice install problem

[Brian Milliron]

I apologize if this is not the right place for this question, but 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 at localhost kernel]# make

Am I using the wrong kernel source?  If so, which source do I need to
use?  Or is this some scripting problem?

Thanks
