I tried to install the DKM driver from http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/alps-touchpad/psmouse-alps-0.10 /psmouse-alps-dkms_0.10_all.deb on my Dell Inspiron 15R running Ubuntu 12.04. The installation fails due to an apparent compilation problem:
/var/lib/dkms/psmouse-alps/0.10/build/src/alps.c:135:33: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘int’ I've attached the output of the console. The make.log contents are listed below: DKMS make.log for psmouse-alps-0.10 for kernel 3.2.0-25-generic (x86_64) Sat Jun 23 17:20:07 CDT 2012 make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-25-generic' LD /var/lib/dkms/psmouse-alps/0.10/build/src/built-in.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/psmouse-alps/0.10/build/src/psmouse-base.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/psmouse-alps/0.10/build/src/synaptics.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/psmouse-alps/0.10/build/src/alps.o /var/lib/dkms/psmouse-alps/0.10/build/src/alps.c:135:33: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘int’ make[2]: *** [/var/lib/dkms/psmouse-alps/0.10/build/src/alps.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [/var/lib/dkms/psmouse-alps/0.10/build/src] Error 2 make: *** [_module_/var/lib/dkms/psmouse-alps/0.10/build] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-25-generic' Any guidance is greatly appreciated! ** Attachment added: "install-console-output.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/606238/+attachment/3201924/+files/install-console-output.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606238 Title: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/606238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
