The problem is almost certainly that you do not have the complete kernel source code. Linux: If the configure script cannot find your source code, it will assume that it is located in /usr/src/linux. If it is not, you can either run configure using the –kernelsrcdir argument, rename the directory where the kernel source really is, or create a soft link. The problem may also be that your source code is not correctly configured. See FAQ for information about how to configure your Linux kernel source code. Linux 2.6: Please make sure that you compile your Linux 2.6 kernel with CONFIG_SECURITY enabled. If you have not done this, you will get errors about implicit declarations of _security functions. FreeBSD: Make sure you have installed the src/sys distribution and that you are using FreeBSD’s make program (ie. “make” is not really “gmake”).
