Hi

I am trying to install OVS on XENVM from intsageniracks. I followed the
steps mentioned here.

http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/HowTo/InstallOVSInProtoGENI

All steps goes well except the last step which gives an error message.

root@ovs2:~/openvswitch-1.7.3# sudo ovs-vswitchd --pidfile --detach
2013-11-28T23:28:05Z|00001|reconnect|INFO|unix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock:

'ovs_datapath' does not exist. The Open vSwitch kernel module is probably
not loaded.
2013-11-28T23:28:05Z|00004|dpif|WARN|failed to enumerate system datapaths:
No such file or directory
root@ovs2:~/openvswitch-1.7.3#


I didnt followed the step 2 which mentioned as "Follow the instructions at
INSTALL.Linux file" . Where can i find Install.linux file?

I tried to build the kernel module using
root@ovs2:~/openvswitch-1.7.3# uname -r
3.2.46

./configure --with-linux=/lib/modules/3.2.46/build

but it throws the below error message.

checking for Linux build directory... no
configure: error: source dir /lib/modules/3.2.46/build doesn't exist




Can anybody tell how to install ovs on a host machine?
