Hey,

I'm trying to upgrade my Nvidia drivers, and the steps suggest to download and make the linux kernel; however, when I do so, I get the following error:

HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
In file included from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:35,
from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:24,
from /usr/include/arpa/inet.h:23,
from scripts/basic/fixdep.c:115:
/usr/include/bits/socket.h:304:24: error: asm/socket.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
make: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by `include/config/kernel.release'. Stop.


From what I've read, I'm missing the linux-headers files (I have the linux-source) directory though).

Anyone know if it's because I'm missing the headers, or if it's another problem?

Pleas help.

Thanks,
Brad

With R5F1 there is no need to download the kernel source for this. The headers are already set up properly to compile modules.

Interesting. I don't know if I'm ready to goto R5F1, is there a way to do this for RE50?

They're there in R5E50 too you just need to fix some symlinks. One of the nvidia driver threads has the details. I think there is a pointer in the R5E50 hints thread.

Hey tjc,

I agree, they *were* there, but then I was in a crunch for space because my root partition was filling up. Someone mentioned I could delete them and redownload them if I need it.

Unfortunatly I need it, but can't find it. I'm assuming a symlink wouldn't fix that.
