Dear all,
I am trying to install martian drivers for a supported
agere winmodem. The procedure has worked before
countless times, but this time, I have a new 64 bit
machine in which I installed Fedora 9 x86_64 on it.
Aside from selinux avcs that are not major, Dan has
helped me fixed them along with some updates, I cannot
access the internet from home. I installed the
updates while at school with higher speed internet.
At home I have dialup and have a supported chipset
with winmodem drivers.
The first problem I encountered was
/home/olivares/Download/temp/martian/kmodule/martian.c:54:29:
error:
linux/ioctl32.h: No such file or directory

I overcame that problem by commenting out the
linux/ioctl32.h
// #include<linux/ioctl32.h
Everything compiled :) however I got a mismatch

Could it be that the machine is 64 bit. I have tried
to do as the
INSTALL says to do
x86_64 platform.
----------------
martian_modem is a 32-bit application. It can be
built on x86_64 the
way prescribed, but you need 32-bit development
environment for that.
Second option is to use binary built on i386.
To compile and install module only do
$ make -C kmodule/ modules
$ su
# make -C kmodule/ install
[olivares@localhost martian]$ make -C kmodule/

I sent the above to LinModems Modem discussion and
Marv sent me following:
**** start of Marv's mail ****
Concerning the ioctl32.h issue. It gets seated in
/usr/include/
and is part of the package:
Package: libuclibc-dev
Priority: optional
Section: universe/libdevel
Installed-Size: 11044
Maintainer: David Schleef <ds@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Architecture: i386
Source: uclibc
Version: 0.9.26-cvs20040816-5.1
Depends: libuclibc0 (= 0.9.26-cvs20040816-5.1)
Filename:
pool/universe/u/uclibc/libuclibc-dev_0.9.26-cvs20040816-5.1_i386.deb
Size: 2169300
Description: A small implementation of the C library
uClibc is an implementation of the standard C
library that is
much smaller than glibc, which makes it useful for
embedded
systems. This package includes header files and
development
libraries necessary to compile applications that use
uClibc.
Bugs: mailto:ubuntu-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Origin: Ubuntu

might have a different name on RPM systems.
But I suspect that ioctl32 is two basic to leave out.
MarvS
**** end of Marv's mail ******
1) Is the package ioctl32 available for Fedora, where
can I get it if is very important for this function
2) Should I compile my own kernel with the option
'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'
3) Do I need special packages to compile 32 bit
applications? ie., yum install **name of 32 bit
development drivers ***
I can access the internet via Slax Live CD,
root@slax:~# cat /etc/slax-version
Slax 6.0.7
root@slax:~# uname -iprm
2.6.24.5 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor LE-1600
AuthenticAMD
root@slax:~#
but I also want to be able to use Fedora if possible.
I do not want to install Fedora in 32 bit, as I want
to take test the 64 bit processor. I have not had a
computer like this and I am like a kid playing with a
new toy :)
