whats the reason that we shud not use /usr/src/* location to compile the modules. Is the kernel source code in this directory not complete ? I compiled my modules with kernel sources in /usr/src/* and they work fine. And how does /lib/modules/* have more than one kernel sources in it ..... when i installed the linux 7.2 on my machine, it did not create different directories under /lib/modules/, i can not find any kernel sources or include files under /lib/modules/. I only have kernel sources installed in /usr/src/* --gd --- Arjan van de Ven <arjanv@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Wed, 2005-01-26 at 10:20 -0800, anil dahiya > wrote: > > Hi > > this is happening because u have compiled your > module > > for kernel 2.4.20-8 (redhat 9.0) .now ur > installing > > that module on kernel 2.4.20 which is different > from > > kernel 2.4.20-8 (redhat 9.0). > > > > please compile ur code with following command (for > > example i am taking ur source file name as > module.c) : > > > > gcc -c module.c -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE > > -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/include > > > > then to install module give command : > > insmod module.o > > > > notes:- > > a> if u have already defined __KERNEL__ & MODULE > in ur > > source file then u can skip those here. > > b> -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/include in this > > linux-2.4.20 points to ur kernel in /usr/src > directory > > .If u have some othername for ur kernel in > /usr/src > > e.g linux then u shld define as > > -I/usr/src/linux/include > > do not use /usr/src/* on RHL/Fedora.
