Downloaded the intel ASL compiler/decompiler from
http://developer.intel.com/technolog.../downloads.htm
... selected the unix tarball (acpica-unix-20050930.tar.gz) and followed the instructions in the readme and the intel site. I had to install bison, flex, kernel headers and sources - which I did via apt-get for bison and flex, and synaptic for the headers and sources.
Make output follows:

Normally I would suspect I was missing kernel source or kernel headers. However, source and header packages for the kernel are installed. The other thing that occurs to me is that I am missing a library. But what??
You can see I've enabled the -ansi flag, but I get the same output without it. This won't be an error in the code or google would be all over it(!) so debug tools don't seem to apply. OTOH: it's been ages since I did anything with gcc...
The system is:
Ubuntu 5.10, fully updated - std repos enabled, inlcl. multiverse.
kernel 2.6.12-9-686
gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu9)
g++ (GCC) 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu9)
bison (GNU Bison) 2.0
flex 2.5.31
I can't be the only person with this problem ... I need the package to debug my dsdt and so get acpi working. Anyone with ubuntu on a laptop will want to do this or suffer acpi performance loss.
Of course, if there is an ubuntu .deb package available, that would solve my problem also
Equally "of course", if anyone knows where to find the fixed dsdt for the acer aspire 3003LC - that would be neet too. (Note: not on the sourceforge acpi list. Close but no bananas.)
Should I be able to fix this, I'll be able to stick the fixed tale in the official list for others and post a howto on LQ into the bargain. (Yes, I've read the gentoo one...)
Thanks in advance.
