Steve, Modem usage is so fast becoming ancient history, that Linuxant.com has ceased to do routine updates to their code packages. I hope you have alternate online access, such as some kind of broadband which has good support under Linux. Nethertheless, I started working through some of the needed fixes, which are related below. But at 12 PM (and age 73), and an end not evident, I stopped with only the progress related below. Tomorrow PM, I may try more, after a day of teasing gray whales in Magdelana Bay, Mexico Lazaro, Many Cuban users will likely need these also MarvS scanModem maintainer ==================== Following http://askubuntu.com/questions/147872/unable-to-install-apache-in-ubuntu-12-04 Do: $ sudo nano /usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/osservices.c search for smp_lock.h and change to smp.h SAVE Running $ sudo hsfconfig the next failure on my System was: WARNING: missing file /lib/modules/3.11.0-17-generic/build/include/linux/version.h Fix with: $ sudo ln -s /usr/include/linux/version.h /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include/linux/version.h Again trying: $ sudo hsfconfig The next failure reported in /etc/hsfmodem/log/buildlog-20140303001042.txt was In file included from /usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/mod_engine.c:9:0: /usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/GPL/oscompat.h:125:24: fatal error: asm/system.h: No such file or directory #include <asm/system.h> Following http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=282144 $ grep -R asm/system.h /usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules was used to report: /usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/GPL/serial_core.c:#include <asm/system.h> /usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/GPL/oscompat.h:#include <asm/system.h> wherein: the following changes should be done: - #include <asm/system.h> + #include <linux/version.h> +#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE > KERNEL_VERSION(3, 3, 0) + #include <asm/switch_to.h> +#else + #include <asm/system.h> +#endif That is, delete the line: #include <asm/system.h> and add in the + lines, but without the leading + , and the indentations are not necessary Following another: $ sudo hsfconfig /etc/hsfmodem/log/buildlog-20140303003347.txt reported: In file included from /usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/mod_mc97ali.c:32:0: /usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/cnxthwpci_common.c:29:22: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' known to be due to obsolescene of __devinit and __devexit Somes 20 instances of __devinit and __devexit would have to be deleted and I quit at this point.

Sure enough smp_lock.h is no longer present in gcc compiler revs used for linux 3.x kernel revs. hsfconfig --dumpdiag output is also shown, in part, below. It is so long I've had trouble trying to paste it into email. I have no idea whether the lack of the two smp_lock.h files is the whole story, versus, a minuscule fraction of the difficulties for someone trying to use this old source code, with a 3.2.* kernel. > > So now I am somewhat less optimistic, but, still hopeful. > > > Thank you, > Steve > > from scanModem: > -------------------------- System information ---------------------------- > > CPU=i686, Ubuntu , ALSA_version=1.0.24 > Linux version 3.2.0-59-generic-pae (buildd@aatxe) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #90-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 7 23:07:06 UTC 2014 > scanModem update of: 2011_08_08 > > Distrib_ID=Ubuntu > DistribCodeName=precise > AptRepositoryStem=http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ > > > The dkms driver upgrade utilities are installed, > > There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files > > Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are: > snd_hda_intel > > Attached USB devices are: > ID 0b97:7761 O2 Micro, Inc.
