Hi Adrian, I tried getting the snapshot like you advised. I had to get
one from June as the more recent ones all seem to be empty but, even
with that earlier one, it seems to give the same output as before with
just a bunch of errors. David N. Lombard, has been trying to help me via
e-mail and it seems that it may be a problem with the kernel's headers
being missing.
The following command failed to locate anything:
locate /linux/config.h
David's said that he'll try to download the package and try it out on
his system. I'd like to hear if anyone else has gotten it to work in
9.04 as well, because given what you've said I'm wondering if it's a
Jaunty thing.
Hoping it's just a misplaced semicolon, backslash or something,
Alex
