linux source and linux headers

[nothreat33]

I'm installing rt61 wireless drivers. I'm getting an error during make. I've looked around the internet so let me first say that I have installed build-essential, linux-source, and linux-headers.

The error:

michael@michael-desktop:~/Downloads/rt61-cvs-2007051818/Module$ sudo make
[sudo] password for michael:

I've gotten the impression that this error is because kernel/bounds.c is part of linux-source not linux-headers. So it can't find it because it's entering the linux-headers directory.

for clarity this is how my /usr/src is organized:


root@michael-desktop:/lib/modules# cd /usr/src
root@michael-desktop:/usr/src# ls

I've thought of a few things to do. Edit the Makefile (don't really know how to do that). Link linux-source to linux-headers. or move around the linux-source data up one so it's usr/src/linux-source2.6.35/ and not /usr/src/linux-source2.6.35/linux-source2.6.35.

But I'm not sure exactly what to do. But I feel like I'm close.

You extracted the source tarfile one level too low. Move it a level higher, to /etc/src, and then extract it, and you should be ok.

I moved the source folder up one.

Didn't work same error. :/
