[hsflinux] Re: hsflinux digest, Vol 1 #341 - 7 msgs Debian

Thu Jun 12 14:53:26 EDT 2003

Hello. You may recall that I was having some problems with the make install
part of the hsflinmodem 5.03.27 installation. I took azajac suggestion and
installed kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4. Then I changed KERNELSRC definition
and everything worked fine.

Next I tried hsfconfig but was stymied with the following message:

WARNING: missing file kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4/include/linux/autoconf.h

The cause of this problem is usually a missing or misconfigured kernel
source tree (and sometimes an incorrect directory or symbolic link)...

I checked and the file autoconf.h appears in the appropriate directory.
Now in my /usr/src directory I have the following directories

kernel-headers-2.4.19-bf2.4
kernel-source-2.4.18

and a symbolic link

    linux -> /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18,

this link the result of an earlier attempt to get things working.

in the directory /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18 I have the symbolic link

    linux -> /usr/src/linux

Somehow I think this could be my problem. Does anyone have ideas?

Thanks

-Will K
