 |
|
Hello,
I've got two problems which I can't handle on my own. The first is a problem
with the wireless-tool. When I want to emerge and compile it, it fails with
the following error:
| Code: |
root@inspiron include # emerge wireless-tools
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) net-wireless/wireless-tools-26_pre8 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) wireless_tools.26.pre8.tar.gz

make: *** [iwlib.so] Error 127
!!! ERROR: net-wireless/wireless-tools-26_pre8 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 28, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)
|
I tried it with different versions of wireless-tools, but this has no effect
on the error.
The second problem is:
When I close the display of my Notebook (Dell Inspiron 8200) and open it
again, the display doesn't turn on again. It stays black. Commands aren't
recognized, too. The only thing I can do is to power off the notebook, and
that often results in errors in the file system.
Before I compiled a new kernel this problem occured only several times, but
now it happens always... When I compiled a new kernel I didn't touch the
APM-options (APM is enabled).
So, what can I do?
Infos of my System:
gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5
Dell Inspiron 8200
Thanks,

I'll try to tackle the second. I have an Insp. 8100 & I disabled *all* the power management stuff in the kernel and I did so in the bios (F2 @ startup). Try disabling it in the BIOS first & see if that helps. If not, then remove it from the kernel as well. I dont have the laptop here, so I cant check the kernel options, but I know I turned it all off in the BIOS, because I was having exactly this problem. |

Hello,
I tried disabling Power Managment in the BIOS when I had BIOS A08. This didn't have an effect on the problem. Now i have BIOS A10, and I'll try it again.
I'll post if it works then.
Greets,
Tassilo |

I am able to emerge wireless-tools on my i8200 with no problems. I am using: | Code: | | CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -mcpu=pentium4 -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" |
I noticed that you are using march=pentium4 which has been known to cause problems. Maybe changing that to -march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4 will help.

| In the bios of my Insp. 8100 I have all Power Management disabled but have Display Close Active for both Battery & AC. Everything else on that BIOS page is disabled. I also have PM disabled in the BIOS (my lap top is usually plugged in & I have an extra battery). Hope that helps. |

Disabling APM in the BIOS works fine. Now I can close the display without killing the system.
I'll try to compile wireless-tools without P4-opt.
What does -Os mean in your CFLAGS? I use -O3 now.

Doesn't work for me. I use march=p3 mcpu=p4, but it gives me the same error for all the versions of the package.
The problem rises in the compile-part of the emerge-process.

Optimize for size. |

The same with me. It fails the same way I quoted in my first message. There we have:
| Code: |
gcc -march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -I
/usr/src/linux/include -c iwlib.c
gcc -march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -I
/usr/src/linux/include -fPIC -c -o iwlib.so iwlib.c
gcc: No such file or directory
gcc: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files
gcc: no input files
/bin/sh: line 1: 01m: command not found
/bin/sh: line 1: 01m: command not found
make: *** [iwlib.o] Error 127
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [iwlib.so] Error 127
|
Does it fail, because there are no iwlib.c and iwlib.so? I searched all above /usr/src/ but there are no such files... I use the vanilla-sources, but tried it with gentoo-sources, too.
Greets,

It's a bit different from your outputs. Mine switches to yellow text after the first 'mcpu=pentium4'. I suppose that has something to do with the '01m: command not found', because that could be part of an ANSI-command.
Also, mine has only 1 'not found'-error.
| Code: |
# gcc " "
gcc: : No such file or directory
gcc: no input files
|
This is different from our 'no such file'-message, because we see a ':' before the message, where the other one doesn't show one. So I think there is some corruption in the commands somewhere, but the ebuild looks clean to me... |

Another strange effect, in the output, it says 'No such', so there is a backspace-character or something somewhere.. Very weird!
By the way: a normal 'make' in the temporary directory works fine, so a manual install is possible until this problem is resolved.

the

is white, and all what comes after is yellow, starting with
| Code: |
-I /usr/src/linux/include -c iwlib.c

and so on. |

| I'm having trouble too, but the source of the problem is that I am missing iwlib.c and have no idea how to get it. I have searched my HD and it just isn't there. |

Hmm, it is in the wireless-tools archive in /usr/portage/distfiles. Should be extracted to /var/tmp/portage/wireless-tools-blah/work/wireless.26 or something. |

| For your info: I just did a manual install by issuing a 'make' in the portage tempdir. Then an 'emerge --inject' and I was able to emerge kismet. I don't have a WLAN yet, but it seems so work fine. |
