Hy Gerhard,
Thanks for your help. But I have a 7.2 and none of the files you mentioned
can be found in the /boot directory. Thus I copied 'autoconf.h' and
'version.h' from /usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux/include/linux. Well,
the RedHat versions are really different from the original ones. The only
problem is that I cannot find 'something.config' in /boot directory and I
don't know where is the Linux config file which the program 'make' uses to
compile pt_drv.o.
During the compilation I see some warning messages "linux/malloc.h is
deprecated, use linux/slab.h instead" but pt_drv.o is created. Anyway,
the installation is still unsuccesful. The problem is the same:
Unresolved symbols. The symbols are also the same as formerly.
Do you think the problem is a wrong config file?
regards
Zoltan
