2. emerge ndiswrapper


Actual Results:  
The following output is sent when trying to emerge ndiswrapper-0.10:

I'm running an Inspiron 5150 on gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.8-r6.

Can you please confirm that /usr/src/linux/scripts/mod/modpost exists? This should be built when you compile the kernel. Thanks.

[Comment 2 Greg Taylor 2004-10-06 16:54:16 UTC]

modpost.h and modpost.c are there but it appears they were never compiled

[Comment 3 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2004-10-06 22:10:35 UTC]

Do you have modules support turned on in your kernel? Is this issue resolved?

[Comment 4 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-11-01 05:46:38 UTC]

This bug report is awaiting feedback from the reporter.

[Comment 5 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-12-29 06:26:30 UTC]

Closing due to lack of feedback.
