open-iscsi initiator version for Sles 10?

[aspasia]

I built a Sles 10 machine in our lab, it's based on kernel 2.6.16.x:
Linux r04s22 2.6.16.21-0.8-smp #1 SMP Mon Jul 3 18:25:39 UTC 2006
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I installed via Yast the open-iscsi initiator software and noticed the
version it comes with is way too old!
r04s22:/etc/rc.d # iscsiadm -V
iscsiadm version 1.0-604
r04s22:/etc/rc.d # iscsistart -v
iscsistart version 1.0-604

Question: in rpmfind, the latest open-iscsi update for Sles 10 seems
to be:

open-iscsi-2.0.713-13.x86_64.html Linux* Open-iSCSI Software Initiator
SuSE Linux 10.2 updates for i386 open-iscsi-2.0.713-13.x86_64.rpm

this is the latest rpm then?

well, i tried to download the last stable release and compile; and
seems like I'm missing some shared libraries ... new to Sles and have
been spoiled by "yum" ... so I'm not sure how to check for
dependencies here ... I tried to search and install in yast all rpms
the match "glib" as a string criteria, yet I still get the same
error ...

shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/open-iscsi-2.0-865.15/usr'

`kernel_check'. Stop.

If anyone has any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.

I cannot tell which is the latest version for SLES since we are
running SLES 10 PATCHLEVEL 1 (x86_64) which comes with open-
iscsi-2.0.707-0.32.

If you want to build open-iscsi from Open-iSCSI repository, you have
to follow the instructions in the README:

on SuSE run

make KSRC=/usr/src/linux \
KBUILD_OUTPUT=/usr/src/linux-obj/<arch>/<config>

to build the drivers, where arch will be x86_64 and config will be
smp. You ought to have this path on your system.

Note that the drivers built this way will be recognized by the kernel
as modules not supported by Novell and the kernel will be tainted.

Hope this helps.
