Hi All, I have installed RHEL 6.0(30 days evaluation version) on my PC.It is working fine. But I tried to compile source code it is getting failed: The method I followed to compile RHEL6.0 kernel Source are: 1) I take the package kernel-devel-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64.rpm and extract it into my directory 2) From 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 directory,I executed make command I got the following make error " SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86 make[1]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'. Stop. make: *** [prepare0] Error 2 " please let me know how can I rectify this problem
Note that kernel-devel RPMs are NOT the kernel source code, but rather the makefiles and such necessary to build modules AGAINST the kernel, for example, a new device driver of some sort. If you want the kernel source code RPM (the actual kernel source), then you must download "kernel-2.6.32-71.el6.src.rpm", install it, then use rpmbuild to configure and build it. It appears you've never done this, and the instructions to build a kernel from the source RPM are a bit more complex that I'd care to go into here. I suggest you install rpmbuild and read the manpages for it or find resources on the web about rpmbuild before you go and try to build a kernel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - UNIX is actually quite user friendly.
