Redhat 2.6.9.34 - peak driver 8.9.0 make

[w7h7jm1]

Can you please advise. After extracting Peak driver 8.9.0 onto an old Redhat 2.6.9.34 system when I run the make prior to install it fails due to missing headers hrtimer.h and ktime.h. If I copy these headers from a later 64 bit version of Linux then I get a syntax error in ktime.h, see below.

Is there a way to install NETDEV_SUPPORT socket driver on Redhat 2.6.9.34?

Thanks

Hi,

Well socket-CAN has been added to Kernel 2.6.25 so I'm afraid that it won't be possible to build nor run any driver of that kind on any older Kernel. Moreover, these first error messages show that you're going to face to lots of other compilation errors, especially with such an old gcc version too! What kind of PEAK System hardware do you want to use, please?

Hi Stéphane,
Thanks for the prompt response. I am using a Peak USB to CAN interface unit and it is working fine on my CENTOS 7 system. Since you state that the CAN socket support was only added at 2.6.25 then I will have to update the legacy machines when I add CAN bus to the system.
Thanks,
John
