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.)
Unpacking openvswitch-datapath-dkms (from 
.../openvswitch-datapath-dkms_1.4.0-1ubuntu1.3_all.deb) ...
Setting up openvswitch-datapath-dkms (1.4.0-1ubuntu1.3) ...

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/openvswitch/1.4.0/source ->
                 /usr/src/openvswitch-1.4.0

DKMS: add completed.

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:

./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-headers-3.7.0-030700-generic ; make -C 
datapath/linux.....(bad exit status: 2)

(x86_64)
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.

Dennis Qin
