Hi Jean I meet two small questions when compile lm_sensors, they are not urgent, you may give me some help when you are free. Question 1: Error appears when compile the module kernel/chips/bmcsensors.o The message is attached in this mail. The strange thing is that: I remember that when I compiled lm_sensors-2.9.0 for the first time (right after installed my Redhat9), this error did NOT appear. Now, I have to comment out the module bmcsensors from the file kernel/chips/Module.mk ********** error message ******************** [root at localhost lm_sensors-2.9.0]# make gcc -D__SMP__ -DMODVERSIONS -include /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/build/include/linux/modversions.h -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -fomit-frame-pointer -I. -Ikernel/include -I/usr/local/include -I/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/build/include -nostdinc -I /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/include -Wall -O2 -c kernel/chips/bmcsensors.c -o kernel/chips/bmcsensors.o kernel/chips/bmcsensors.c: In function `ipmi_sprintf': kernel/chips/bmcsensors.c:220: warning: operation on `from' may be undefined kernel/chips/bmcsensors.c:221: warning: operation on `from' may be undefined kernel/chips/bmcsensors.c: In function `bmcsensors_select_thresholds': kernel/chips/bmcsensors.c:300: `m' undeclared (first use in this function) kernel/chips/bmcsensors.c:300: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once kernel/chips/bmcsensors.c:300: for each function it appears in.) kernel/chips/bmcsensors.c: At top level: kernel/chips/bmcsensors.c:45: warning: `addr_data' defined but not used make: *** [kernel/chips/bmcsensors.o] Error 1 Question 2: Occasionally, when I compiled lm_sensors-2.9.0(or i2c-2.9.0), it took me very long time(maybe several hours) to finish compiling. The "*.d" files in lm_sensors-2.9.0/kernel/chips/ (or i2c-2.9.0/kernel/*.d) were produced(refreshed) again and again. When I interrupt the compile, this phenomenon sometimes continues, or disappear: once, I re-compile it on the second day, this strange phenomena disappeared. I can not find the reason about it, Can you?
