So I switched to gcc2.96 (on my Redhat 9, > compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.118 provides /usr/bin/gcc296) in the Makefile and > all worked fine. I had similar problems as I switched to Slackware 9.0. The main problem is that I first asked the distribution to install kernel headers (as a package), and then installed and compiled my own kernel from sources. Then, as I tried to compile i2c and lm_sensors for this new kernel, headers were a complete mess. The clean solution I used is: 1* Remove the kernel headers package. This package installed all headers directly in /usr/include, where non-kernel headers also live. These files aren't needed once you have real kernel sources available. 2* Create the following symlinks (these are *directories*): /usr/include/asm -> /usr/src/linux/include/asm /usr/include/linux -> /usr/src/linux/include/linux This of course assume that you have a complete kernel source tree at /usr/src/linux. After that, everything compiled smoothly, providing Christian's fix is *also* used. I don't really know why it works (since the change isn't supposed to actually change anything), but I know it did. I hope it'll work for you as it worked for me ;) -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
