Hi Tommy Here's one thing we've done on our debian testing machines when the compiler got upgraded before the kernel. It's kind of gross, but works. Go ahead and install the older gcc-4.0 package. The gcc symlink /usr/bin/gcc will still point to the "default" gcc version, and is the gcc the kernel build system will try to use. You may have some specific reasons why you can't install gcc-4.0 but there's a pretty good chance you'll be able to install multiple gcc packages without problem. /usr/bin/gcc probably points to /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 on your box. Go ahead and temporarily make that link point to /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 while you make the pvfs2.ko module. Probably would be a good idea to reset the link after you've built pvfs2.ko The "debian way" to fix this might be to rebuild the debian kernel package. Not sure if the compiler is an explicit build-dep though. Either of those approaches work for you? ==rob -- Rob Latham Mathematics and Computer Science Division A215 0178 EA2D B059 8CDF Argonne National Lab, IL USA B29D F333 664A 4280 315B _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-users
