Re: Can't find modules after moving to 2.4.2

[Marcus Ramos <marcus@ansp.br>]

Hello,

Thanks for those who replied telling me to upgrade modutils to 2.4.5.

I downloaded modutils-2.4.5.tar.gz and placed it in my /root directory. After
tar -xzvf, I got a new directory /root/modutils-2.4.5. Then I followed the
instructions in INSTALL:

cd modutils-2.4.5
./configure

But, from this point on, I wasn't able to finish the installation. What is
meant by "/paht/to/master/modutils/configure" ? Anyway, doing "make install"
doesn't cause any effect, as my modules still aren't loaded when I reboot
with kernel 2.4.2. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Best Regards,
Marcus.
