[ovs-discuss] Error compiling on Ubuntu 9.10

[Justin Pettit]

Yes, this was fixed in the following patch:

	http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=commitdiff;h=43a6c464ef

The fix went into the master branch, while the 0.90.x releases are  
from "citrix".  The reason is that the "citrix" branch is considered  
stable for working against XenServer 5.5, which is based on the 2.6.18  
kernel.  You can grab a snapshot of this branch by going to the  
following link:

	http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=snapshot;sf=tgz

There has been a documentation clarification that hasn't been merged  
into master yet: you will need to run "./boot.sh" on sources pulled  
from Git before you run "./configure".
