Hi All,
I would like to install the latest openvswitch on my Ubuntu box. It's running
the latest Linux kernel 3.7 and I ran this CLI command,
sudo apt-get install make fakeroot dkms openvswitch-switch
openvswitch-datapath-dkms linux-headers-$kernel_version
it failed with the following error message,
-----------------------
Selecting previously unselected package openvswitch-datapath-dkms.
(Reading database ... 221931 files and directories currently installed.)

Consult /var/lib/dkms/openvswitch/1.4.0/build/make.log for more information.
---------------------
And the error message in the /var/lib/dkms/openvswitch/1.4.0/build/make.log
file is,
-------------------
checking for kernel version... 3.7.0
configure: error: Linux kernel source in
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.7.0-030700-generic is not configured
make: Entering directory `/var/lib/dkms/openvswitch/1.4.0/build/datapath/linux'
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: Leaving directory `/var/lib/dkms/openvswitch/1.4.0/build/datapath/linux'
-------------------
so the question is what CLI I can use to get the latest openvswitch instead of
1.4.0? Does the latest openvswitch support Linux 3.7 kernel?
Thanks.
