Clara, You cannot make the module on ubuntu and expect it to work in Astlinux. Astlinux has it's own development environment and uses cross-compiling against uclibc, not glibc.
If you read Chris's comments, the via-velocity module is already included in Astlinux. All you need to do is edit the rc.modules file and include via-velocity. Please read the development information on http://www.astlinux.org for more specific information about the development environment. Darrick Clara Chan wrote: > Thanks for your help.
