This is the error message I was receiving from configure before I installed the kernel source in /usr/src/linux: configure: error: *** you need to have the Linux kernel source installed for this driver You are right, adding that config parameter also resolved the problem. I was able to 'head config.status' to determine what setup.sh used for my configure setup, and add the --with-kerneldir param. Unfortunately, config.status wasn't created until towards the end of the configure script. So when configure was originally erroring out because of the missing kernel source, I had no idea how setup.sh was running configure. -Rob > On Tue, Dec 28, 2004 at 09:49:44AM -0500, Robert Dege wrote: > > > Thanks, > > > > I found the problem though.

I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? |
