The Jungo WinDriver need a linux symbolic link , what does it mean?
ts manual says:
To run GUI WinDriver applications (e.g., DriverWizard [5]; Debug Monitor [7.2]) you must also have version 5.0 of the libstdc++ library — libstdc++.so.5. If you do not have this file, install it from the relevant RPM in your Linux distribution (e.g., compat-libstdc++). Before proceeding with the installation, you must also make sure that you have a linux symbolic link. If you do not, create one by typing /usr/src$ ln -s 'target kernel'/linux For example, for the Linux 2.4 kernel type /usr/src$ ln -s linux-2.4/ linux what does this 'symbolic link' mean ? what do the ‘’ and ‘linux’ preset ? If I install WinDriver in Ubuntu 13.10 , how should specify these two parameters ? Thanks . |
Welcome to Linux Questions!
A Symbolic link is similar to a Shortcut in Windows-speak or an Alias in MacOS. It's a pointer to a file Code:
/usr/src$ ln -s linux-2.4/ linux Are you sure you have the command written properly as it implies that it's linking to some unknown file in the directory linux-2.4/? The "/" looks wrong. Quote:
'target kernel' would be linux-2.4 or whatever version of the kernel you had installed. Play Bonny! :hattip: |

Thanks for your help , I know the 'Symbolic link' , but I can't understand the Jungo's explanation about the <target kernel> and the /linux , what are these two path should be in my Ubuntu 13.10 ? I think the '/linux' is the kernel source files location which its full path is '/usr/src/linux' ,is it right? And sorry for my poor English , I mean 'represent' |

I'm not sure if the source files live under /usr/src in Ubuntu. I've just had a look at a RedHat installation and there's a /usr/src/kernels directory but it's empty. This may just be the particular install I'm looking at though where the source files have been removed. Do you have a /usr/src directory? Play Bonny! :hattip: |
