Can anyone help me on this.

Thank you.

a program will usually run when it has warnings...try running just 'make' and then post the exact errors* you get

what do you mean by exact errors*
the file is quite long so i cannot post it.

All the errors are just like the one i posted:

syntax error before numeric constant

also the file ends like this:

qla2x00.c:19082: called object is not a function
make: *** [qla2200.o] Error 1

Hi,
Are you able to compile the qlogic driver. I can compile it on Intel-32bit but on AMD 64bit I am still facing the problem you posted.

Thanks
