You need to rm /usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5-smp-i686/build

What is /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp/build currently pointing to?
let us know what ls -l says.

You have another problem though. You seem not to have a C compiler installed.
Try installing gcc using your distribution's package manager.

Good luck,

Cool i rebuilt cause i got annoyed

from those errors what do i need ot install gcc and kernel devel smp and anything else?

niallb

You'll need a few other packages, like binutils,
but your package manager should take care of those.

I guess you're running Fedora Core 5 from the name of the kernel,
but it's not a guarantee.

Anyone use fedora enough to translate apt-get install gcc simply?
If you have yum installed, it might be what you need, or up2date if that's still around.

Good luck again,
NiallB

ok next problem installing gcc got me a hell of a lot further than before but now we have another problem

Anyideas anyone please help i belive that boards.ie can finish this install:eek:

You're in the realm of the very specific now.

Are the versions of the software you're trying to build definitely
compatible with your kernel version?

Could you try to update your kernel to a 2.6.16 version first?

This page seems
to have everything you would need already compiled against a
more recent kernel.

The matching kernel is available at [url="http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.i686.rpm
"]http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.i686.rpm
[/url]
and the devel files at
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/kernel-smp-devel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.i686.rpm

That should get it working anyway, though it doesn't solve your compile problem.

Good luck,

Any progress?
