Sam? as oleg pointed out in another post, the failure is that the directory .tmp_versions is not created by the make -- specifically the "make modules_prepare"? creating that directory manually solves the problem but, obviously, it should be part of the build process. rday p.s. as you point out, once a module is built and .tmp_versions exists, all further builds should work. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
