I download the r1000_v1.05.tgz which is the RTL 8168/8111 driver. but when I follow the note to install the driver. some error happend.
the error as follows:
[root@localhost r1000_v1.05]# make clean modules
make -C src/ clean

I hope some one can help me!
thanks!

That message is saying the file /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen/build is pointing to a non-existent directory (or the link itself does not exist, possibly).

The "build" file is supposed to point to the source code for the kernel. If you are getting a file not found error there, the most likely problem is that you don't have the kernel source installed, which you will need to compile external modules like this driver.

If you do have the proper source installed, then the link might be missing or bad. You can check by running:

For example, running that command on my machine returns the following:

Which indicates that the file itself exists, and that it is properly pointing to the location of my kernel's source code.

Hi ,

I am also facing the same problem. when i trying to list the " /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5xen/build "
there is no link file in ../../../usr/src/kernel/2.6.18-8.el5xen-i686

Could you tell me what can i do to solve this problem
