Essentially, you should compile this module in the modules directory of the kernel source. This will solve your problems in the easiest manner. sorry for short answer.. driving all night back from HAL.... sleep. andrew On Sun, 12 Aug 2001, Rohit Grover wrote: :Hello, : :I am writing a module which needs to include 'sys/vnode.h'. vnode.h :tries to include vnode_if.h.
