Compiling modules suddenly gets strange errors...


I'm trying to compile the latest ALSA and Audio Science drivers on my 2.4.24-1.ll.rh90.ccrma kernel. Whenever I attempt to "make modules", I get a bunch of errors when it gets to drivers/net/dummy.c:

In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.4.24-1.ll.rh90.ccrma/include/linux/spinlock.h:57,
from /usr/src/linux-2.4.24-1.ll.rh90.ccrma/include/linux/module.h:11,
from dummy.c:32:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.24-1.ll.rh90.ccrma/include/asm/spinlock.h:9: invalid suffix on integer constant
/usr/src/linux-2.4.24-1.ll.rh90.ccrma/include/asm/spinlock.h:9: parse error before numeric constant
/usr/src/linux-2.4.24-1.ll.rh90.ccrma/include/asm/spinlock.h:10: `printk_R_ver_str' declared as function returning a function
/usr/src/linux-2.4.24-1.ll.rh90.ccrma/include/asm/spinlock.h:10: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype


Anybody know what's up with this? Is there some configuration I haven't done right and need to do?

Pointers to other forums where someone might know would be just as welcome as an answer.

Thanks

Eric Weaver

Don't quote me on this, but I suspect you need the kernel sources installed in order to compile the modules. If they are installed and don't compile, then maybe you need the alsa devel package as well.
