Bug: mounting ntfs in CentOS 5 using ntfs-3g

I experience the same problems as reported by another person here:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2376

Code:

# rpm -qa | grep fuse

fuse-2.7.0-2.el5.rf

fuse-ntfs-3g-1.1120-1.el5.rf

# rpm -qa | grep dkms

dkms-2.0.17.5-2.el5.rf

# rpm -qa | grep kernel

kernel-headers-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5

kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5

kernel-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5

# uname -a

Linux hostname 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 #1 SMP Mon Oct 22 08:32:04 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/temp/

mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'

# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/temp/

FATAL: Module fuse not found.

fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first

# modprobe fuse

FATAL: Module fuse not found.

Any idea how to resolve this issue? The CentOS guys give little hints:

See if dkms built the rpms.

HI
I'm sufering from the same problem can anybody give advise

you need to build fuse in kernel for NTFS

i am not much of expert but i have solved this err
Download fuse from sourceforge (tar )
And unpack this
now locate this (kernel-headers-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.i386.rpm)rpm in system,{ install CD, Yum update cache in /var/cache/yum... or if you updated
or just type
locate kernel-headers-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.i386.rpm
once you get this package with Archive manage un rar it
it will give you ( usr folder)
move this folder to //fuse-2*/kernel
now
./configure
make install

Note fstab entry will not work at boot time
/dev/hda5 /mnt/Win ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0

mount - a will mount the NTFS drvive or Volume

AND you must have all dependenices resolved for fuse package first

If you already had the fuse package installed for your distro, you only needed to modprobe the fuse module. ( As the message said ). Make sure that the fuse module is loaded when you boot the computer.
