Dear LM-Sensors Team, I tried to compile i2c and lm_sensors on this machine: Linux dhcp230 2.4.21-99-athlon #1 Wed Sep 24 13:34:32 UTC 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux). gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux) While compilation i get on both i2c and lm_sensors the following error: kernel/i2c-pport.c:154: error: initializer element is not constant kernel/i2c-pport.c:154: error: (near initialization for `bit_pport_data.timeout' Not only for i2c-pport.c. I spent some time covering this bug. I found out that you take the HZ Value out of asm/param.h for the timeouts in many of your modules. For me i switch to a hardcoded value so that the element is constant. I took the value defined for userspace in asm/param.h. (On my system 100) and everything compiled fine. I'am not a very good c programmer so i don't know how to cover this i think you need this timeout HZ definition because param.h makes a difference between kernelmode and userspace. The other problem i spotted is that your tar.gz archive of i2c-2.8.7 is not a gzip archive. dhcp230:~ # file i2c-2.8.7.tar.gz i2c-2.8.7.tar.gz: POSIX tar archive A not that much confidant user could be very confused if he is downloading a tar.gz from you website which is a tar.
