Hi,

I did a new install of CentOS 5.4 on an HP DL360 G5 server and updated
all packages to the newest versions.  The kernel is
2.6.18-164.6.1.el5PAE.

I successfully built and installed DRBD 8.3.6 from source using these
commands:
wget http://oss.linbit.com/drbd/8.3/drbd-8.3.6.tar.gz
tar zxvf drbd-8.3.6.tar.gz
cd drbd-8.3.6
./configure --with-km
make
sudo make install
depmod -a
mobprobe drbd

I prefer using rpms for installing though, so I tried building one but I
got the error messages below.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
