RE: [Xen-users] Make error

["Ian Tobin" <itobin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Has anyone got anywhere with this, im now trying to install on a 64bit
machine and the exact same problem is there again.

I can't believe im on the only one with this problem?

Thanks

Ian

Yes, it's almost certainly some form of bug, but I think the real
problem is that we're doing "make mrproper" in the wrong place. I had
the same problem the other day (sorry, I should have posted about it,
but I didn't remember at the time), and I found that if you do "cd
build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_32; make mrproper; cd ..; make dist" it will
work.
