hi, This is not on an embedded system.
Kernel details :- Linux 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5PAE #1 SMP Fri Oct 29 14:28:58 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga) Kernel RPM :- kernel-2.6.18-53.el5 kernel-2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 kernel-2.6.18-128.el5 I dont quiet "own" this Linux box (although, I have 'root' permissions on it !). So, I cannot upgrade this box. I have a couple of questions :- 1) In which file should I add the entry - "typedef uint32_t __u32;" ? 2) What is the minimal gcc version recommended for a successful installation ? Thanx ! - mahesh.
