Bug 108585 – If I install ndiswrapper i cant (re)compile the kernel (broken pipe)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description KirO 2005-10-09 04:20:29 UTC]

When ndiswrapper is installed i cant compile the kernel (gentoo-sources), it
shows a "Broken Pipe" error. If I uninstall ndiswrapper and I compile the kernel
all goes ok, then i can reinstall ndiswrapper.

I cant paste the error because i dont have Internet Access yet on this Machine
but is like this:

if [ -r System.map -a -x /sbin/depmod ]; then /sbin/dpmod -ae -f System.map
2.6.13-gentoo-r3: fi
make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/modpost.o] Broken pipe
make[1]: *** [scripts/mod] Error 2
make: *** [scripts] Error 2

Thank you for all

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install ndiswrapper (wi-fi driver) with emerge
2. Try to compile kernel

Actual Results:  
if [ -r System.map -a -x /sbin/depmod ]; then /sbin/dpmod -ae -f System.map
2.6.13-gentoo-r3: fi
make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/modpost.o] Broken pipe
make[1]: *** [scripts/mod] Error 2
make: *** [scripts] Error 2

Expected Results:  
Compile kernel

(Manually) updating to version 1.4 is supposed to fix this. The only problem
that I keep getting are permission rights when trying to download the sources.

Changing to a dir where you do have write permissions tends to fix this though.

please test again with ebuild version 1.4 and re-open if problem presists.
