It's not the only error, but the rest of the errors appears to be the result (missing references, undefined this or that). I'll try this tonight - left my notebook at home. I guess I can just make a symlink? Thank! Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Don’t worry, the next errors may come after *this* problem is solved. ;-) Espcially if the module needs network variables. I'll try this tonight - left my notebook at home. I guess I can just make a symlink? Yes, this is probably the easiest solution. Shade and sweet water!

Many modules (including ones like the nvidia stuff, but for different reasons) don't compile well with m-a (or at all) with the current lay of the land in 2.6.2X kernels right now.

I should have mentioned that *all* modules I try to compile fail this way. If it was one or two I would have put it down to incompatibility with the new kernel, but in earlier rc versions of 2.6.21 (I think rc2) everything compiled quite fine. Thanks anyways - guess I'll have to be patient. Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
