RE: Why do I need to be a %^#$# programmer to use Linux?



Alan,

That's the funny part.  I was getting a bunch of errors before (one of which
is that it couldn't include modversions.h so I copied that file over ).  I
created a symlink from /usr/src/2.2.19 to usr/src/linux and that fixed quite
a few of the errors.  It seems to be finding the io.h and pgtable.h, there
just seems to be a function that it is trying to call that it cannot find
within those files.  I will try to dig up the exact errors.

Thanks!!

You don't have to.  You could contact someone for support or hire
someone to do it for you.

It sounds like it's looking for kernel headers for your kernel.
Installing the right kernel-headers package for your kernel-image
might work, but you might also need to adjust the makefile (since
iirc, the epca makefile wants headers to be in
/usr/src/linux/include).  It may be easiest to find your nearest
Linux User Group and find someone locally who can log into the
machine, see precisely what's up, and give a hand.  That's often the
easiest way.

I'd try to help, but I haven't dealt with the epca drivers in a
while, and only on redhat systems late at night....
