If my memory serves me right, then I used ./configure --with-linux=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build Is this where the problem lies in? 2. > But if you follow INSTALL.md, it asks you to choose how you want to configure > it, but many people doing it as a one off thing, ignore the subtleties > involved. Yeah, Likely. Could you please point out what ./configure option I should have used while upgrading? I wish the section about upgrading in INSTALL.md spelled out the subtleties involved (with ./configure options etc.) in step 2 versus just "Install the new Open vSwitch release." 3. Also, are there any particular steps to remove the previous OVS version (once upgrade succeeded) ?
