The modules built by dkms must match the gcc version used to compile the kernel. Install gcc-4.5 and add it to the alternatives system to select which to use, or export CC for manual compilations. From my POV, it's not unnecessary to have different versions of some software (gcc, perl java,...). -- Huella de clave primaria: AD8F BDC0 5A2C FD5F A179 60E7 F79B AB04 5299 EC56
