Install errors on HP Qlogic 2340 driver 7.07

[Alan Boyles]

In trying to install the 7.07 driver on a DL380 with RHEL 3.0 U2 I am receiving an error stating that " Compile did not succeed".
The version of RHEL does not have all packages installed and I am wondering if there are any dependencies for this driver?

Thanks,

Alan

do you have kernel-source package installed?

rpm -qa |grep kernel

you should see the same release for kernel[-smp] and kernel-source.

[Alan Boyles]

Yes, I'll attach the output.

[Vitaly Karasik_1]

Can you send us output of "make" (install?) command?

[Alan Boyles]

No, I'm trying to use the rpm procedure that you get from the HP web site, which has an install script.

[Alan Boyles]

More info, attached is a trace of the make.
Open with Wordpad.

Very strange! I've compiled 7.0.7.03p3-19 qla version with kernel 2.4.21-40 without any problem right now.
Can you send me full output of "rpm -U" command, not just the tail?

[Alan Boyles]

Here are a couple of more outputs....

[Alan Boyles]

Here is the second...

[Vitaly Karasik_1]

To say the truth, I don't understand why your compilation failed.
Do you use the latest qla release - 7.0.7.03p3-19 ?

[Alan Boyles]

It was copied from the HP web site last week and I'm assuming that's the latest 7.07 release.

[Alan Boyles]

Actually the latest on our web site is 7.07.03-14, is there a new one somewhere?

[Vitaly Karasik_1]

I've tried this one

"HP StorageWorks FCA2214/FCA2214DC FC HBA Driver for 2.4.x Kernels
version 7.07.03P3-19 (13 Apr 06)"

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/23869.html

[Alan Boyles]

We tried this one and had the same result. The compile died with the same error message.

[Vitaly Karasik_1]

Very strange!
The only difference I see between my and your RHEL3 is that I have 2.4.21-40 kernel (update 6?) and your system has kernel-smp-2.4.21-37.EL.
In fact, the second difference is that your kernel configured with SMP.

I'd like to suggest you two steps:
1) just remove kernel-sources; rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.4*; install kernel-sources

and if 1) doesn't help, may be make sense
2)to upgrade kernel (and kernel sources ) to 2.4.21-40
2)

[Alan Boyles]

If you do a

rpm -qa |grep kernel

on your RHEL what does the list look like? Do you have the same modules as my version or are there some that are different?

[Vitaly Karasik_1]

see below:

kernel-source-2.4.21-40.EL
kernel-2.4.21-32.EL
kernel-source-2.4.21-32.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-8.37.12
kernel-doc-2.4.21-32.EL
kernel-doc-2.4.21-40.EL
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13
kernel-2.4.21-40.EL

and my current kernel is kernel-2.4.21-40

I have some compile failures of the same qlogic driver not too long ago. The problem I ran into was my version of the gcc compiler was not version 3.2.3

Because of an Oracle compile I had to do, I had to back rev the gcc compiler to 2.9.6 and forgot to return the gcc compiler back to 3.2.3

This may or may not be your problem, but do a "gcc -v" just to make sure.

[Alan Boyles]

Eric,

You are correct, we figured this out late yesterday afternoon and it was due to the older version of the gcc compiler.

Thanks everyone for the help!
