I decided to focus my efforts on installing latest OVS 1.10 as you pointed out. Hence, I focused to fix /boot.sh errors first
The warnings were not really dangerous as mentioned in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-12/msg00131.html I manually edited /usr/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4:4 and added the "[" and "]" where needed. Then I went past ./boot.sh without any errors However, ./configure erros persist. I believe this could be an error not related to Ubuntu version but ./configure may have to be fixed. I see the following where the errors are reported KSRC=$KBUILD if test ! -e $KSRC/include/linux/kernel.h; then # Debian kernel build Makefiles tend to include a line of the form: # MAKEARGS := -C /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-1-common O=/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-1-486 ====> I don't see any of these directories on my linux machine. I don't know python..but is the arguments used from this line at all? It appeared to be in comments line # First try to extract the source directory from this line. KSRC=`sed -n 's/.*-C \([^ ]*\).*/\1/p' "$KBUILD"/Makefile` if test ! -e "$KSRC"/include/linux/kernel.h; then # Didn't work. Fall back to name-based heuristics that used to work. case `echo "$KBUILD" | sed 's,/*$,,'` in # ( */build) KSRC=`echo "$KBUILD" | sed 's,/build/*$,/source,'` ;; # ( *) KSRC=`(cd $KBUILD && pwd -P) | sed 's,-[^-]*$,-common,'` ============> This is the place where it failed ;; esac fi fi if test ! -e "$KSRC"/include/linux/kernel.h; then as_fn_error $?

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 ovs-controller should have been installed in /usr/bin/. "dpkg -l | grep openvswitch" should you all the openvswitch packages you have installed. You can always do a "dpkg -c openvswitch-controller*.deb" to see all the files inside that package and their paths. ovs-ofctl needs openvswitch-switch and openvswitch-common packages. You will also need openvswitch-datapath-dkms*.deb for the kernel module. > I suppose your development environment is Ubuntu? yes > 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. ./boot.sh should not give any errors. You should be looking at fixing that error before you run ./configure. Read the INSTALL file in the repo to figure out all the packages that you need for it to work. 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? Yes. Every released OVS version >= 1.4 should work on Ubuntu 12.04 (previous versions probably work too, I do not know). The latest release is OVS 1.10 (git branch branch-1.10).
