I was just trying to install KEEPALIVED to monitor and knock of the
inacitve servers in my LVS pool.
I am using RHE 4 with the following kernel: 2.6.9-5
As IPVS is built into the kernel, i installed most of the packages using
RPMS.
ipvsadm v1.24 2003/06/07 (compiled with popt and IPVS v1.2.0)
I had to spent sometime figuring out why keepalived was not working,
initially i used keepalived-1.1.12-1.2.el4.rf which got installed pretty
nicely and the VRRP worked fine.
But there was a problem, health checkign never worked. I later found out
that the RPM package i installed didnt have the IPVS support.
To fix, i grab the latest sources of keepalived - release 1.1.12.
Tried to compile this - unfortunately it gave me this error.
configure WARNING keepalived will be built without LVS support. Now i do
have the kernel dev packages install, i know i have IPVS.
And it even complained this: checking for kernel version... 2.4.20 :)
nice huh!!!
Apparently the configure scripts were lookign at this location
/usr/src/linux . and my RHE have the neccessary files in
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-5.EL-xxx.
I am too lazy to modify the configure scripts, so i create a sym link :)
ln -s /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-5.EL-i686/ /usr/src/linux. Run the
keepalived configure script and viola i got keepalived with IPVS support :)
Just too easy fix!!!!
