In a normal build setup the scsi headers comes in via the glibc provided headers. Fix up your build so you uses the glibc provided headers and you should be fine. > 2) perl (5.8.8) and raidtools (1.00.3) need "asm/page.h", but there's > none generated. page.h is a kernel internal header. The applications should not rely on this header. On my box /usr/include does not contain a file named page.h?? Investigate why these tools needs page.h. - From where is it included - What happens if you drop the include - etc. Sam -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
