(OT) Problems installing DKU2 Linux kernel module

sybella1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello fellow Monks,
I'm trying to install a patch 'DKU2 Linux kernel module' to allow use of DKU2 cable over USB port connection on suse 9.1.
I got the patch from gnokii; but i get an error when i run make.
This is what i have done:
1) cd gnokii-0.68/patches/kernel_2.6
2)./configure --with-kernsrcdir=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build --with-kernmoddir=/lib/modules/`uname -r`
3) make
I get the error below:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.193-obj/i386/defau
+lt' 

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop. 

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.193-obj/i386/defaul
+t' 

make: *** [module] Error 2
[download]

please any advance on the above error will be appreciated.
Thanks for the replies in advance.
regards,
sybella

What is the perl question here? Looking at http://www.gnokii.org/ i see that it is written in c .. Are you trying to install this so that you can use GSMD::Gnokii ? But even so, it seems like your issues are before even getting near perl and so are OT for here.. Did you try the gnokkii support options of the mailing list and IRC?	[reply]
