Make sure you're using tabs and not whitespaces in your makefile.

What you need are the kernel headers that are part of the kernel source (or devel) package for your distribution. Check the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build directory. If you find header files in that tree you're all set. Otherwise you have to locate the package that provides these header files. For Ubuntu, the package name is something like 'linux-headers-2.6.22-14'. ...juerg > Thanks for your patience!! > > Werner > > --------------------------------------------- > From: Juerg Haefliger <juergh <at> gmail.com> > Subject: Re: dme1737 module > Newsgroups: gmane.linux.drivers.sensors > Date: 2007-08-22 16:11:13 GMT (16 weeks, 4 days, 5 hours and > 35 minutes ago) > > Hi Juergen, > > I'm copying the list so others can profit. > > > > Dear Juerg, > > > > I own a barebone made by asus which needs the dme1737 > module for lm-sensors to > > work correctly.
