Hi all,

It seems to me you are trying to build a module called "dsplinkk.ko" which is not GPL'd (or does not have a correct MODULE_LICENSE declaration) but is trying to use the GPL-only symbol sys_open. If you were building OpenAFS, I might ask you what version of OpenAFS you're building, and what version of Linux, and then I might provide some suggestions for how to work around the problem. But as it appears you are not building OpenAFS, that would be fruitless.

This is the openafs-devel mailing list. It is for people who are hacking on the OpenAFS code. Questions about building and using OpenAFS from people who are _not_ hacking on the code belong on openafs-info. Questions about software that is not OpenAFS belong on some other mailing list entirely. If I recognized the thing you were trying to build, I might suggest some particular list on which you could ask your question, but I don't, so I'm afraid I can't help you with that.
