/lib/modules/kernel/build file broken
 

Hi,
I am trying to write a simple "hello world" module from Linux Device Drivers of Rubini, but whenever i am giving make command error comes up as build file is broken... my makefile is given below

ifneq ($(KERNELRELEASE),)
obj-m := hello.o
else
KERNELDIR ?= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
endif


what should i do? i am using fedora 9...

Welcome to LQ.

Take care, that the package 'kernel-devel' is installed.
Installs to /usr/src/kernels/ , and the link 'build' in
/lib/modules/´uname -r´)/ is a link to that "package"

uname -r ( to see version )

# yum search kernel-devel

# yum install kernel-devel-´uname -r´
....
