None given that the only clue is "I can't run make" and "everything
else
is OK."

Your broken setup might be fixed by re-installing linux-headers and
linux-kbuild.




Thanks, but I've already done that twice.  It's got me.

Guess I'm going to have to just dump this system and start from scratch.
   Fortunately, it's only a test system I built to test the new
module(s).



Hi Jerry,

Reinstalling the system won't help.

I used packages.debian.org to figure this out and followed the solution
listed here:

Have you installed the package dkms?

This in turn should install the package linux-kbuild-3.2 which includes
the needed scripts.

Sincerely,
Kailash




Thanks, Kailash, but I've already seen that (and several other)
solutions.  linux-kbuild-3.2 is installed.  I tried it with dkms
installed also, with no change.

Meanwhile, since we haven't been able to get this working, we may have
to do it under Windows.   And I hate windows, but we have to get this
working.  The old OS/2 system is on it's last legs.



Hi Jerry,

If you don't mind, I'd like to look at some things if you're still up
for it. I'll try and do a repro on my end.

Could you post the contents of your sources.list file?

Also could you show a listing of the relevant packages installed?

Thanks,
Kailash




Kailash,
I really appreciate the offer, but we've had to move on. We've got a Windows driver written, and will be testing it soon (when some other equipment becomes available). Not a great solution, IMHO, but we do what's necessary.
I know a good part of the problem is my unfamiliarity with Linux. I prefer it to Windows for many things, but in this case it was a matter of time and economics; we spent a lot of time (which means money) trying to figure out why it wasn't working. Finally we had to go another route. 

Maybe in the future; I don't know.  It's not my call.

Jerry
