[Linux-gpib-general] Problems with make / RedHat 7.1

[Thomas B. <th...@sa...>]

  Dear Reader,

I had the following problems while installing "linux-gpib" under RedHat 
7.1 (2.4.7-10).
The Kernel source was there and also the following "make config" went 
all right.
However, running "make" causes a lot of troubles.

First ALL tried packages (3.1.93/3.1.92/3.1.91) caused the
following error message:

init.c:30: parse error before string constant
init.c:30: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of 
`MODULE_LICENSE'
init.c:30: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
init.c:30: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
make[2]: *** [init.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory 
`/home/thomas/program-files/lab/linux-gpib-3.1.93/driver/nec7210'
make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/home/thomas/program-files/lab/linux-gpib-3.1.93/driver'
make: *** [linux-gpib] Error 2

After commenting out the line including `MODULE_LICENSE' in
EVERY "*init.c"-file in the driver directories it went on until the next 
error message:

ibConfYacc.y:28: conflicting types for `YYSTYPE'
ibConfYacc.h:7: previous declaration of `YYSTYPE'
/usr/lib/bison.simple: In function `gpib_yyparse':
/usr/lib/bison.simple:432: warning: passing arg 1 of `gpib_yylex' from 
incompatible pointer type
make[1]: *** [ibConfYacc.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/home/thomas/program-files/lab/linux-gpib.3.1.93/lib'
make: *** [linux-gpib] Error 2

This last error message was shown with the packages 3.1.92 and 3.1.93 
and I couldn't
trace the problem further (I'm no Linux-Guru yet ;-).
Using the package 3.1.91 didn't show the last problem and I could 
install the necessary
gpib.conf and modules ...

Is there any point I missed? Or what is wrong?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
