just as a follow up I managed to get it to work. In partial thanks to
activating a new subscription :) Turns out it needs to be specially build
for the 64 bit system...
I followed the instructions here
http://kb.linuxvirtualserver.org/wiki/Compiling_ipvsadm_on_different_Linux_distributions
I only had to slightly change the instructions
# up2date redhat-rpm-config rpm-build kernel-utils
# up2date --get-source kernel
# rpm -ivh /var/spool/up2date/kernel*.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
( target removed )
<b># rpmbuild -bp kernel-2.6.spec</b>
# cp -a /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9 /usr/src
# ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.9 /usr/src/linux
Then, we can build the ipvsadm-1.24 rpm in the following command:
rpmbuild --rebuild ipvsadm-1.24-6.src.rpm
And install using: rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/ipvsadm-
1.24-6.x86_64.rpm
to update the kernel and rebuild the rpm. I had to change the instructions
slightly, removing the target=i686 from the kernel build and then was able
to rebuild the ipvsadm-1.24-6.src.rpm into ipvsadm-1.24-6.x86_64.rpm I was
then able to install this rpm and everything seems to be working.
Thanks for the help
