Subject: Re: Error of building modutils-2.4.27

Hello,

If the subject is not appropriate to this list, please point me a proper
mailing list.

While I am building modutils-2.4.27 by FC5, I've got following errors:

../../obj/obj_kallsyms.c:204: error: invalid lvalue in assignment
../../obj/obj_kallsyms.c:279: error: invalid lvalue in assignment

Any helps for what was I missing?

Thank you.

Jim

Why are you building modutils 2.4? FC3 and later Fedora distributions
use the newer module-init package which is required for 2.6 kernels.
modutils is only for 2.4 and earlier kernels, which are quite difficult
to run on FC5.
