I have downloaded the dgrp-1.9 driver package (4000286_S) to build on Linux kernel version 2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.i686. When I try to build it, I get a core dump from the fixdep script. What is wrong with my environment?

Don’t see the failing portion. Can you try the following procedure and post the resulting typescript?

The failing portion was the first line of the above after my question:

/bin/sh: line 1: 17249 Bus error (core dumped) scripts/basic/fixdep …

I have since tried the procedure on a new machine (the target machine) and do not see the problem.

BTW, I tried to look at the core file and it had no symbols. When I re-compiled fixdep with symbols the problem went away (of course!)
