Can't install drivers on Red Hat 6.9

[rhall]

I'm trying to install driver version 8.4.0 on Red Hat 6.9. When I run the make command I get the following errors.

Code: Select all

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

You're running a very old Kernel (2.6.32). We try hard to support a large number of Kernels among a large number of distros... We especially are able to compile our driver v8.4.0 against 2.6.32 LTE, which support has been stopped at the beginning of this year...

Anyway, the COMPAT config option in your Kernel seems not working as it should. If you don't plan to run any 32-bit application over the pcan driver, you can try rebuilding it like that:

Code: Select all

$ cd peak-linux-driver-8.4.0/driver
$ make COMPAT_SUPPORT=NO
$ sudo make install

Regards,

Stéphane

That worked. Thank you
