Thanks Christophe.
Are these upgrades in a single place on any site?
I tried upgrading the libdevmapper, but had inconsistencies with existing
libdevmapper 1.0 (device-mapper-1.00.19-2).
I tried deleting the older one, but then I get dependencies on the following
rpms.
- dmraid-1.0.0.rc5f-rhel4.1.i386
- lvm2-2.00.31-1.0.RHEL4.i386
- dmraid-1.0.0.rc5f-rhel4.1.i386
- lvm2-2.00.31-1.0.RHEL4.i386
If I choose 2nd option, the compilation goes through the initial level, but
finally gets stuck at the following place:
/******************************************/

/******************************************/
Are the required packages with appropriate version numbers documented
anywhere, so that I can download them appropriately? If anyone in your team
has faced similar issue, they should be able to suggest a resolution faster
- I guess.
Thanks in advance,
Nitin

You have 2 options : either upgrade your libdevmapper, or #define
dm_task_no_open_count(a) to a noop like 'while(0){}'
