PortServer TS16 driver for SLES11-SP2

Hi all,

I’m trying to install the PortServer TS16 driver for SLES11-SP2 with beta-sources “dgrp-1.9-29.src.rpm” - with some problems. After running:
rpmbuild --rebuild dgrp-1.9-29.src.rpm

I see all possible make-/build errors. Is it the right source for SLES11-SP2 ?

TIA

Niki

Well, nobody answers, so I’m reporting some progress to me:
After installing the apropriate kernel-syms 3.0.13 I came a bit forward:

rpmbuild complains now:

checking for gcc… gcc
checking for gcc version… “UnSupported Platform…”


  • The Digi RealPort driver is supported only on the
  • Intel x86 platform!
  • Attempting to continue, hoping for the best…

checking for x86_64-suse-linux-gnu-gcc… gcc

checking for current kernel version… 3.0.13-0.27-default -> 3.0.13-0.27- -> 3.0.13
checking for kernel headers… “/usr/src/linux”
checking extra version of kernel… 0
checking if running kernel was compiled for SMP… Yes
checking what type of build we will do… KBUILD.

make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=$PWD modules MYPWD=/usr/src/packages/BUILD/dgrp-1.9/driver/2.6.27 MYMANDIR=/usr/share/man
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27’

WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27/Module.symvers
is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

The file Module.symvers (and other similar) exists in the another directory though:
/usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27-obj/x86_64/default/

So my next questions are:

  1. Is the Digi RealPort driver supported really only on the

    • Intel x86 platform? It was no problem (before update to SP2) on AMD64 …
  2. Why is “make” looking for file:
    /usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27/Module.symvers

and not for the correct: /usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27-obj/x86_64/default/Module.symvers?

Thank in advance!

Hi Niki,

I am having the same issue as you were having I think.

I am installing the driver for portserver in Suse ES 11 SP2 .

Did you find a way around this problem?

my errors are

make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=$PWD modules MYPWD=/Sources/hardware/portserver/beta/dgrp-1.9/driver/2.6.27 MYMANDIR=/usr/share/man
