No modpost directory

[artvandalay]

I'm trying to compile a driver and it's going into the kernel source to build modules, and I'm getting the error:

  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 1 modules
/bin/sh: scripts/mod/modpost: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [__modpost] Error 127
make[2]: *** [modules] Error 2

before it drops out of making the driver. All google helped with this was to check menuconfig and see "Enable loadable module support" was enabled. Another poster somewhere suggested copying a modpost dir from another distro would work, but I don't know if I like that (and I don't have another distro).

I'm not shure but maybe you can first try before compiling the driver:

cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.12.2
make scripts/mod/modpost

Replace the version number with your version.

Hm, that echoed some stuff before spitting out:

ccl: error: unrecognized command line option "-m"
make: *** [scripts/mod/modpost] Error 1

Solved it - I just needed the kernel-devel RPM
Thanks!
