[linux-dvb] Problem MAKEing DVB Driver on RH9

[Holden McGroin <holdin.mcgroin@ntlworld.com>]

Hi!

I hope you'll excuse me if this has been answered before but i'm kinda new to this (and Linux in general). I just installed the downloadable Red Hat 9, making sure I checked the Kernel Development option during installation (to ensure the Kernel sources were installed) and now i'm trying to install the DVB drivers (I have a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T), but have run into a problem.

My Kernel's sources are in /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8 so I changed the line in the DVB driver's Makefile to:

export KERNEL_LOCATION=/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8

However, when I try to run the make command in the DVB/driver directory, I get the following errors:

[root@Steve driver]# make
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/scripts/pathdown.sh: line 4: TOPDIR: parameter null or not set
DIR=`pwd`; (cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8; make SUBDIRS=$DIR modules)
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8'
make -r -f tmp_include_depends all
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8'
touch: creating `/usr/src/build/231485-i386/install/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/fs/jfs/jfs_debug.h': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [/usr/src/build/231485-i386/install/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/fs/jfs/jfs_debug.h] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8'
make[1]: *** [tmp_include_depends] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8'
make: *** [here] Error 2

I'm just moving over from Windows to Linux so I don't really have much of an idea what's going on yet :-) The error message mentions a file called pathdown.sh in the Kernel's sources and that file does exist and contains some kind of script. It's my guess this is what's preventing the DVB Drivers from compiling, but I don't know how or why - could anybody help me out?

Cheers,
Holden
