for a simple module i used this code
#include <linux/module.h>



/* Defines the license for this LKM */

MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");



/* Init function called on module entry */

int my_module_init( void )

{

printk(KERN_INFO "my_module_init called. Module is now loaded.\n");



return 0;

}



/* Cleanup function called on module exit */

void my_module_cleanup( void )

{

printk(KERN_INFO "my_module_cleanup called. Module is now unloaded.\n");



return;

}



/* Declare entry and exit functions */

module_init( my_module_init );

module_exit( my_module_cleanup );

then in makefile i had obj-m += simple-lkm.o
then i used this
$ make -C /usr/src/linux-`uname -r` SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
make: *** /usr/src/linux-2.6.32-46-server: No such file or directory. Stop.
$
What is the problem in this?

you change into src a directory that does not exist but you should go into the module directory

take this makefile

I tried this makefile but stil am getting the same error

if you call make like this
make -C /usr/src/linux-`uname -r` ....
than it is very possible that it will not work

make -C tells make to change into the directory given..
and it seems that you do not have /usr/src/linux-2.6.32-46-serve
and you do usually not want to run make for a module there.

try just make in the directory with your module file and the makefile posted,

could you be more clear how should the make be?

your/directory
- Makefile (whith the content I posted)
- modulefile.c (with your code)

cd your/directory
make
