compile problem fc5

[kurt eichenberger]

Hello, I am attempting to install the evaluation version of Parallels on Fedora Core 5. We would like to migrate all of our OS/2 Warp machines to Paralles running on Linux.

I have installed the source for fc5 and have installed paralles using the rpm --nodep option because of the libXft dependancy problem.

I had a number of failures when I tried to run Parralles config, because the souce tree was not in the right place, and because the build directory was not properly symlinked from the modules directory.
I got these sorted out however I still can not get the Parralles config to complete. I have included a snip from the log below. I would appreciate any help you may be able to give me.

Regards, Kurt Eichenberger

For what it's worth, and I hope it helps. When I do a locate for modpost the result is:

jld:~ # locate modpost

Probably you only need to have in place:

/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.13-4/scripts/Makefile.modpost
