Error building kernel using SAM

[Eric Zumwalt_2]

Hello,

I'm trying to change some configurations to my kernel using SAM. When I make my changes and execute it I receive these errors.

Cannot build a kernel using /usr/sbin/config. The standard output of the command is shown below:
(Bundled) cc: , line : warning 487.
cpp: "conf.SAM.c", line 0: warning 2021:

(Bundled) cc: , line : warning 487.
cpp: '/stand/build/function_names.c", line 0: warning 2021:

stop.
config: make did an exit (1)

The command exitted with exitcode -71.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric

Eric,

(p.s. if you get a page not found error, try manually pasting in the URL (get rid of the javascript stuff).

I read the post, thanks. It says to remove the conf.SAM.o file if it is older than the conf.SAM.c file. I my case they have the same date and time. I'm going to try removing it anyway to see what happens.

Not sure if this has anything to do with my problem but when I get into sam I've been getting this message before SAM comes up.

cpp: "/usr/sam/lib/C/fal.ui", line 0: warning 2021:

I'm using HP 11i.

another good thing to check here is the cumulative SAM patch level. I have my server not patched for a year or so here and I have PHCO_28123 on my 11i system.

check it with this command :

swlist -l patch | grep -i sam

you will get about 20 matches to go thru to get to the actual cumulative patch.

Besides make sure you have the latest SAM patch, please check this as well:

1. Permissions on file /usr/ccs/lbin/cpp should be 555.

2. If the system has a corrupted /usr/ccs/lbin/cpp file, replace the /usr/ccs/lbin/cpp copied from other working system should resolve the problem. Do a backup of the file before replacing it.
