[Techtalk] compiling errors

[Carla Schroder]

Hi techtalkers,

I'm posting this for a friend. I'm not much of a 'make' guru, anyone have any 
ideas how to fix this, or where to look for answers? Are there missing 
libraries? I'm looking at various docs, so far it's a deep dark mystery. Is 
this person trying to create an RPM? There are only two FreeSWAN modules 
available, one contains the base installation, the other is utilities.

Thanks!
Carla

"I'm compiling 1.97 on a RedHat 7.2/7.3 with the latest updates.  Using 
"make xrpm"  the process will die with an error of:

Unfortunately, I'm not too sharp at using make.  It seems a simple fix, 
but I'm not sure why 
/usr//src/freeswan-1.97/tmp.rpmbuild/lib/modules/ipsec  doesn't get 
created in the first place.  I have tried this on clean installs of Redhat 
7.2 and 7.3 with updates using both 1.96 and 1.97.

Hopefully somebody will have an idea on how to resolve this.  Thanks"
