Problem In Upgrading CPAN

Trying to install software/drivers for wireless dongle on my Fedora Linux box. I have downloaded and expanded my files into my /home/me/Downloads.

In my example: /home/cjh/Downloads/LinuxDriver4Fedora_v2.5.0.3
This is where the make file is.

I run make and get an error:
"make -C /lib/modules/3.4.2-1.fc16.i686/build SUBDIRS=/home/cjh/Downloads/LinuxDriver4Fedora_v2.5.0.3/os/linux modules
make: *** /lib/modules/3.4.2-1.fc16.i686/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [LINUX] Error 2"

The directory "/home/cjh/Downloads/LinuxDriver4Fedora_v2.5.0.3/os/linux" does exist.

What am I missing? I have run it as myself and root and get the same error.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Hello there,
First of all thank you for making me a part of this forum.
Secondly, here is the problem..
I am facing this problem in honeyd installation during "make"

I found a similar thread in this forum as well to solve the above problem by using "apt-get install honeyd" but didnt quite worked for me.

root@kali:~/Desktop/Narayan/honeyd-1.5c# apt-get install honeyd

I tried researching but couldnt find any solutions. Moreover, I am really a newbie at Kali Linux and other debians as well.
I would appreciate if somone could help me.
Thank you.

Hi, I am trying to install a smartcard reader driver onto my ubuntu machine. I am not able run the make file.

The output of makefile is as follows:

Hi everyone (i hope this is the right section)

Im trying to install the RT patch preempt_rt 3.18.9 im running Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel v 3.16

i installed the rt patch "patch-3.18.9-rt5.patch" and also a new kernel "3.18.9" i patched the patch file with

patch -p1 < patch-3.18.9.patch

but there is somthing i don't know about linking folders of old kernel and new kernel, i searched about it and found

rm -rf linux && ln -s /usr/src/linux-3.18.9 linux && cd /usr/src/linux

then

make oldconfig

then

make menuconfig

i selected Full preemptive kernel then

make

then this error

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors make[2]: * [kernel/locking/locktorture.o] Error 1 make[1]: * [kernel/locking] Error 2 make: *** [kernel] Error 2


So..... Any help?? can someone walk me through this

or any other real time patch, Thanx.. plzzzzzz

OK,

Lastnight I decided to finally attempt to install the dedicated ATI/AMD Catylist drivers. After all I was successfull with the HP drivers, right...

No matter which grub selection I make, getting in is broken, except of course for the Windows XP Pro x64 entry, that works just fine. I'm here with you today, because of the Fedora 21 Live DVD, (slooooww).

Here is the drivers log file:

[Error] Kernel Module : Failed to compile kernel module - please consult readme.
[Reboot] Kernel Module : dracut
==========================================================

I just rebooted without attempting to configure the card, as per the ATI/AMD warning stating that it's important to do so, because my thinking was derailed due to seeing errors, and the install program said I needed to reboot. Afterall, I just couln't believe that with a "Failed to compile kernel module" error, it would actually keep the changes I'd made, that surely Linux had a failsafe in place for such circumstances. In other words, I'm also a newbie, and just don't know how many hoops of fire one has to jump through to be at peace with linux.

Can anyone please help be get back into my install, I've already set up so many things, there's just got to be a way, right?


Thanks in Advance!

hi,

Because i am cross compiling busybox for an arm board and can't install directy busybox on it (it don't have apt-get/sudo/make) i tried to compile busybox with arm-linux-gcc and "make" it in a custom directory with /usr/ /bin/ sbin/ this way i could copy paste the folder and the exe in a clean root and transfert this root to my board.

Sadly i don't seems to be able to change the installation patch.
i tried with :
Code:

make install PREFIX=/home/blabla1/blabla2/blabla3

but when going into the blabla3 folder i find no file (/usr/ /bin/ and /sbin/ are present because i created them myself).

./configure can't be used because the file don't exist.

Any idea on how i could change the installation patch ?

hi all,
I am new to cross compilation .I am trying to cross compile ntp for arm based zync soc board. so i have downloaded ntp source code version ntp-4.2.8-p2

i gave options for confiure file like this ./configure --host=arm-xilinix-linux-gnueabi --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/home/sntp CC=arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-gcc -with-yeilding-select=yes
configuration is succesful but when i am going for make it is throwing an error like this

cd ./html && \
../scripts/build/checkHtmlFileDates

Hello all,
i'm trying to upgrade my 2.4.x to 2.6.x ( on slackware 10.0)
i've experience of compiling 2.4.x to 2.4.x.

so the final steps were..........

make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install ( now here its showing error )

last lines of "make modules"
.........
LD [M] net/sched/sch_prio.ko
CC net/sched/sch_red.mod.o
LD [M] net/sched/sch_red.ko
CC net/sched/sch_sfq.mod.o

LD [M] sound/soundcore.ko

root@bond:/usr/src/linux# make modules_install
ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory
make: *** [_modinst_] Error 1
...............


i used the "config" from the second cd of slackware 10.0.
inside somewhere in "testing" folder.


A person asked me this

Code:

Did you upgrade your module-init-tools?
It's necessary if you go from 2.4 to 2.6

the version for it is :
Code:

root@bond:/home/bond# depmod -V
module-init-tools 3.0
root@bond:/home/bond#

so i don't think i need to upgrade it.....

now experimently i tried to upgrade witheut loading any "config"
everything worked fine in that case...

so what could be the problem.........any problem with that "config"???

if required......i can post that "config" too.

regards
