Kernel Headers problem... recompiling?

[Charles R. Twardy]

I'm replying off list because I don't know if anyone already replied.

I don't htink your problem is one of version mismatches. MOL reports those quite clearly and then refuses to run.

Some amount of recompiling is probably necessary to handle the unresolved symbols.  Recompiling MOL is quite easy.  I'm fairly new at MOL and was able to recompile, though it took several iterations before it ran on my system.

Hopefully you have altivec enabled in your system. (It shouldn't matter if you recompile, but for me it did.)

I'll assume you have the kernel headers installed. Otherwise ask on the list again.  You want the headers for the *running* kernel, else you may have a version mismatch (probably solvable with "-a").

Download the MOL source into some directory in your normal (non-root) home.

Follow the instruction on the MOL site. Basically:
	1) untar the file
	2) cd into the directory
	3) "./configure"
	4) "make"
	5) change yourself into root  ("su")
	6) "make install"

Now test it! (Again, I'm just following the MOL user's guide on the web)
	7) startmol --loadonly    (should complete quickly)
	8) lsmod                  (check that mol has loaded)
	9) startmoml --test       (hopefully works)
	10) startmol or startmol --osx
