In the include directory, you will find various 'asm-xxx' directories. Try making a sym link to the one you are compiling for e.g. ln -s ../asm-alpha ../asm
This might or might not work. I haven't needed to compile a kernel in the last 3 years so I'm not to scratch with this stuff.
Thanks for the hint, but no combination of links would work. I put 'ln -s ../asm-generic ../asm in ...
/bin /usr/bin /usr/src/<kernel I was trying to build>/ /usr/src/<kernel I was trying to build>/include /usr/src/<kernel I was trying to build>/include/asm-generic ...and a few others
...replaced '../asm-generic' with the name of the assembler ... 'ln -s /usr/bin/as86 ./asm' and variations of that theme
Unfortunately, the error message was the same with all tries. No difference.
I tried with 4 other kernel source directories, one of which was created by extracting from a *.tgz tarball. Nada, still the *exact* same error message when using 'make <anything>'
I'm stumped, but I thank you for your responses.

Ok, so you are in total thrash mode here, putting links all over the place where they don't belong. Its seriously time to consider a do-over. Un-install the sources clean up the directories and start again. Have you checked your "sys" environmental thingie? the message: /usr/include/bits/socket.h:334:24: error: asm/socket.h: seems to suggest its looking for a asm subdirectory in /usr/include/bits/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
