compile probs, glibc, satlink.c (Planetc Feed)
Hiya. I've a Planetc satfeed and there's a module satlink.c (.o respectively) which doesn't want to compile w/ glibc. No prob with that, I added a "-I/usr/i486-linuxlibc1/" to the gcc call and it compiled. I've installed the "libc5-altdev" beforehand and the libc5 and hopefully this is enough. Now... I've a custom 2.0.33 kernel (not the Debian kernel- source package). I've altered the links from /usr/include/asm/ and /usr/include/linux/, of course. I'm compiling it and whenever I try to insmod satlink.o it tells me it was compiled for 2.0.32 and that doesn't match the actual kernel. I've that module version information thing switched on in the kernel (which should help, since it says it allows me to use modules compiled for another kernel version). Now... what did I do wrong? Any help is appreciated... Thanks a lot, Alexander -- SGH Internet Division Alexander Koch, Administration Waldstr. 36, 30163 Hannover eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Telefon: +49 511 391088, Fax +49 511 391307, http://www.sgh-net.de/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
