    ============================

    Solution:

    You have two options.

    1. Rebuild the MVFS by reinstalling Rational ClearCase.

    When asked if you want to rebuild the MVFS module, answer Yes. – You will then be prompted for the path to the Linux kernel source directory. The default prompt is /lib/modules/)uname -r)/build.

    If you are running a standard kernel from Red Hat or SuSE, accept this default prompt. If not, you will need to enter the pathname to the directory in which you built your running kernel.2. Rebuild the MVFS without reinstalling Rational ClearCase.

    Example during install:

    WARNING: Install was unable to find a prebuilt mvfs module
    for this system. You will have to rebuild your mvfs module.

    Do you want to rebuild the mvfs module when install is
    complete (yes, no, quit, help)[yes]:yes

    2. Rebuild the MVFS without reinstalling Rational ClearCase

    Run the command: cd /var/adm/rational/clearcase/mvfs/mvfs_src – Clean up the results of previous builds: make clean – Build the MVFS modules: make You will be prompted for the path to the Linux kernel source directory. The default prompt is /lib/modules/)uname -r)/build

    Install the newly built MVFS modules into the proper directory under /lib/modules, so that the MVFS modules will be loaded into the kernel when Rational ClearCase starts: make install 86 IBM Rational ClearCase, ClearCase MultiSite, and ClearCase LT: Installation and Upgrade Guide

    Restart Rational ClearCase. /opt/rational/clearcase/etc/clearcase stop /opt/rational/clearcase/etc/clearcase start After the installation process has completed, test that Rational ClearCase has been properly installed by running the cleartool -version command.

    You should see output indicating the version of MVFS that has been installed, as in the following example. # /opt/rational/clearcase/bin/cleartool -version ClearCase version 7.0.0 (Thu Sep 15 12:57:19 EDT 2005) @(#) MVFS version 7.0.0.0 (Thu Sep 15 08:17:03 2005) built at $Date: 2005-09-15.12:56:01 (UTC) $ cleartool 7.0.0.0 (Thu Sep 15 08:42:46 EDT 2005) db_server 7.0.0.0 (Thu Sep 15 08:39:34 EDT 2005) VOB database schema version: 54

    If Rational ClearCase has not been successfully installed, refer to the README.txt file for help. The README.txt file is located on your Rational ClearCase host, in the directory /var/adm/rational/clearcase/mvfs/mvfs_src/.
