Rebuilding the Linux kernel in order to create the MVFS module fails

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote explains how to resolve an error, make[3]: gcc: Command not found, that can occur when attempting to rebuild the Linux kernel in order to create the IBM Rational ClearCase (CC) MVFS module.

Symptom

After the initial ClearCase installation fails and it is determined that the next step is to follow the directions in the Preparing Linux for ClearCase Installation white paper and rebuilding instructions in /var/adm/rational/clearcase/mvfs/mvfs_src/README.txt, the make step fails as seen below:

/var/adm/rational/clearcase/mvfs/mvfs_src # make
Makefile:75: mvfs_param.mk.config: No such file or directory
cd . && /opt/rational/clearcase/install/kernel_guess

Enter path to your toplevel kernel source directory.
        Default is [/lib/modules/2.6.16.60-0.21-default/build]:
