[linux-lvm] Setup of LVM

[Morris.Marshael]

I am new to this list and LVM on Linux.
I am trying to install LVM on a Redhat 6.2 using kernel 2.2.16.  I got this
using uname -r.
I see all the patches but do not see anything I think I might need to use.
I have went into the kernel configuration and told it yes to the Logical
volume manager support
And to the LVM information in proc filesystem.  When I compile the kernel I
receive errors of:
