Hi,

Ok, the Linux saga at the Manor continues ;-)

I did a re-install (the previous thread ended there - too bad - thanks again for all of the support, the operation was a succes, but the patient died...)

Next hurdle: I need to install a virusscanner, my choice went to AVG, but it needs Dazuko, a Kernel module. Much in spite of advise, I still use Red Hat 8, kernel 2.4.18. The howto states to:
- get the source of the kernel - check
- get Dazuko (duh) - check
- unpack - check
- type ./configure (in the folder I guess) - check (be it with a lot of pooha, but ending with "configure successfull)
- do the make - no check, error was/is

<command line> :1:1: macro names must be identifiers

Of course, I've hit the ball wrong, but...how do I hit it right?

Thanks!

Thor

Oh, and... I did make Xconfog too, as suggested on Dazuko.org...

You do realize you could make your life much simpler and move to a current distro? Centos 5.1 (RedHat EL 5.1 with the logos removed) is available for free download.

Hmm, you are right, of course. Since this is a CLEAN move to Linux (it would be a complete first time - no old data to drag over) I suppose I SHOULD consider something new(er). The thing was lying around so I poored it over the machine, realizing only now that the distro is a piece of antique.

I should try something like Centos (I dont know it) or Fedora. The machine seems to be able to cope, though: P4/2400, 512 Mb ram, 40Gb disk (a wee too small, but well) networking, usb...

In the mean time...I seem to be stuck with this Dazuko, was'nt it ever installed on a Redhat8 before?

Click!

Barring lazlow's most excellent advice, you need to post more output from the failed make. Paste the last 20-30 lines of output and wrap them in code tags for ease of reading.

Hi!

Thanks for a swift reply...and...ooops, yes without SOME feedback, my story does'nt seem to give any details...blame it on my windows past, but I've seen the light...

Ok, this is what I do, and get back...

I hope this helps...

Steps I did take,

-make xconfig
- make dep
- whole make of the kernel

I sue hope it will help me too...

Clicks and well ness to all of you!

And ... thanks!

Thor

PS, I ws just about to do something drastic: "up" the kernet via the source at kernel.org, because I suspect newbee talking here) that the _whole_ source is not available...

O, by the way, the very last thing the make says is "Fout 1" - dutch for "Error 1"...my toy is set to dutch...

Hi,

So, I've gotten the Fedora Core 8 (yes, E-I-G-H-T) - the newest available...and nothing.

Let me go on the record to state that the whole thing ... stinks. Dazuko stinks! I just should toss all the PC's in my life out of the window.

Utter crap, waste of time, waste of money, waste of life. Watching paint dry is more rewarding.

Just venting anger and frustratiion, dont take any of this personal, but it's just that I keep going in circles and achieve ... nothing.

I dont see the need for it anymore.

Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks! Dazuko stinks!

There, that helped.
