gcc help needed

[Rubbing Alcohol]

I just loaded breezy on my laptop. Im having some issues installing a few things from source.

I've got all the utilities I need (gcc, make, etc) and I've got the latest kernel headers. The problem comes when I try to make, the gcc version seems to mismatch

make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build SUBDIRS=/home/julien/acerhk-0.5.31 modules
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-10-386/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 11: gcc-3.4: c ommand not found
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-10-386/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 12: gcc-3.4: c ommand not found
make[1]: gcc-3.4: Command not found
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-10-386'
CC [M] /home/julien/acerhk-0.5.31/acerhk.o
/bin/sh: gcc-3.4: command not found
make[2]: *** [/home/julien/acerhk-0.5.31/acerhk.o] Error 127
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/julien/acerhk-0.5.31] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-10-386'
make: *** [acerhk.ko] Error 2

ie the GCC version returned by the kernel comes up as "command not found".

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

apt-get install gcc-3.4

..should do the trick

This is peculiar. The Makefile seems to be invoking 'gcc' as 'gcc-3.4', as if it needs a specific version. I presume that if you simply invoke 'gcc' from the command line, i.e.

gcc -v

that it works OK? And prints a reasonable version number?

If so, then take a look in the Makefile and see if there's a line like this near the top:

CC=gcc-3.4

and try changing it to:

CC=gcc

No, gcc-3.4 is correct. The breezy kernel was compiled with gcc-3.4, and so modules must be compiled with this same compiler.

[Rubbing Alcohol]

so manually installing gcc-3.4 seems to have done the trick. Kinda odd because I was sure it was installed.

Maybe I just can't read...

Thanks, folks
