It was not precise. I upgrade to the latest hence the delay in reply lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS Release: 12.04 Codename: precise
apt-get install openvswitch-controller command was successful. It claimed it has installed 1.4 version which is not what I want because it is too old. However, I just wanted to check whether 1.4 was installed correctly - I don't see any OVS components installed. "which ovs-controller" and "which ovs-ofctl" replied no binary files / links to the bin directories. I am primarily looking for the OVS active and passive controllers Hence moved onto the the other installation option Ø I suppose your development environment is Ubuntu? yes Ø For 12.04, I need the following packages (or a smaller subset of it) I installed all of the packages you recommend but didn't help. In addition, I ran ./configure and ran into the exactly same issue I am trying to find what am I missing? Were you able to install the latest OVS (dated May-1-2013) on Ubuntu?
