Re: [Dprobes] DProbes and Linux kernel 2.2.18

[<rbh...@in...>]

Hi Gregg,

It is true that linux is a symbolic link to the actual linux source tree,
2.2.18 in your case. That is the case with most distributions. Please make
sure that you are applying the patch in the directory "/usr/src/linux"
(and not "/usr/src" ) with linux being a symbolic link to linux-2.2.18 or
apply the patch directly on linux-2.2.18 directory.
But while compiling make sure that the /usr/src/linux symbolic link is
correctly set up to the DProbes kernel.

Let us know if you encounter any further problems.

Regards,
     Bharata.

Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers
(Please forgive the duplication of this note!)
I am having problems interpeting the instructions. They say to run the
patch at the directory quouted "/usr/src/linux". Are you aware that
most of the time, at least with Slackware, that directory, is actually
a symbolic link to the linux-2.2.18 source directory? The instructions
do  not come right out and say that. I downloaded the complete file
from the address quoted in the instructions
http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux/projects/d
probes found the one for my kernel, linux-2.2.18. And started my
system, and extracted the file there. In "/usr/src" to be exact. And
that was where those problems got started.
