Lustre discuss - May 2006 - lustre compile problem

I have.  At least in my case, it comes from the detection of -m64 in 
./configure, which kills the module build test.  Find the line in 
configure which says CC="$CC -m64" and comment it out.  It should work
fine after that.

Thanks,

I have been trying to get lustre working on debian (sarge) with a vanilla 2.6.12
kernel. The kernel was patched with quilt and seemed to work well (all hunks
were applied successfully). When i try to configure lustre i keep getting the
error:
checking for external module build support...configure: error: unknown; check
config.log for details.

the config.log file does not show any errors.

Has anyone come accross this error before?
