Dear all, I do have a sort of conceptional question that comes from a practical problem. As the problem is very specific I try to ask the question in a manner that more people can understand and maybe help. I have written a loadable kernel module that I load with modprobe xxx. The module xxx makes use of a C function which seems to obviously be in some of the standard libraries. I assume this because if I write an isolated type of Hello-World in c and just compile it with gcc it works just fine. In contrast the module compiles fine as well, but reports "unresolved symbols" on depmod or when I try to load it. So my question is: Do I have to avoid using functions that are in the C library when writing kernel modules or is there a special trick that I need to now. Hope I explained this in a way everyone understood the question. If not, pleaase ask for details. Regards, Torsten -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
