Stop. > > is a bug in linux that is not yet solved > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/233950 Actually, that's a result of the way that Ubuntu provides kernel sources. It's trying to compile the module using just the kernel headers, but it apparently needs full source. You'll need to have the kernel-source package installed, then go to /usr/src and untar the source package (tar jxvf kernel-*.bz2). You might then also have to modify the symlink at /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build to point to the full source rather than kernel-headers. I don't use Ubuntu myself, and have never encountered this problem. Marv is the Ubuntu expert here. > #3 in the above link is similar to my situation , he seems to have solved it using chmod -R +x foldername as given in #5 He didn't specify whether he ran that in the kernel source directory or in the directory he was building from. Either way, I don't see how it could do much; '+x' on chmod means to make files executable (which source files are not and should not be) and allow you to cd into directories. '-R' on chmod means to recurse subdirectories (ie, apply '+x' to all files and directories under the target). > When I tried the same thing , I am getting operation not permitted ! How do I fix it ? As a general rule, if you don't have permission to do something, then you need root (administrator) permission. On Ubuntu you can do that by typing 'sudo' before the command (ie, 'sudo chmod -R +x /target/directory') and then typing your password at the prompt. > Also how do I make my system ready for driver compiling ? Some info is given in drivercompiling.txt of scanmodem output, but I am unable to understand it Installing gcc, glibc and the kernel headers should be sufficient for most things. > ----- Original Message ---- >> From: celestine preetham <mastercelestinepreetham@xxxxxxxxx> >> To: Joshua Gordon Crawford <jgcrawford@xxxxxxxxx> >> Cc: Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx>; Antonio Olivares <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx>; discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >> Sent: Wed, 23 December, 2009 2:55:42 PM >> Subject: Re: celestine , India , 2.6.24-24generic >> >> I have installed all the headers (libc6-dev 2.7-10ubuntu4_i386.deb and >> linux-libc-dev 2.6.24-26.64_i386.deb ) >> Now I am getting a different error message when I run "sudo make all " >> >> celestine@localhost:/usr/src/agrsm048pci-2.1.60$ sudo >> make all >> sudo: unable to resolve host localhost >> make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-24-generic/build SUBDIRS= modules >> make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-24-generic' >> CHK include/linux/version.h >> CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h >> make[2]: *** No rule to make target `arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c', needed by >> `arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s'.
