Hi, Having lots of issues installing xen 3.0.3 source on debian sarge. I am still at the install level and when I run "make install" it ends with the error: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [tapdisk] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/xen-3.0.3_0-src/tools/blktap/drivers' make[2]: *** [install] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/xen-3.0.3_0-src/tools/blktap' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/xen-3.0.3_0-src/tools' make: *** [install-tools] Error 2 Please help
good news: I resolved the previous error by installing dev86 package (I had to use the dpkg --force - install option as dev86 conflicts with as86 and bin86) bad news: I am still in my error ofter error loop. Now I have the following: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xen-3.0.3_0-src/tools/firmware' make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xen-3.0.3_0-src/tools/firmware/rombios' gcc -DBX_SMP_PROCESSORS=1 -E -P rombios.c > _rombios_.c bcc -o rombios.s -C-c -D__i86__ -0 -S _rombios_.c Unable to execute bcc-cpp. make[3]: *** [BIOS-bochs-latest] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xen-3.0.3_0-src/tools/firmware/rombios' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xen-3.0.3_0-src/tools/firmware' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xen-3.0.3_0-src/tools' make: *** [install-tools] Error 2 Please help
I'm not sure where this error comes from. But do you need to compile Xen from the sources, or would installing the Xen binary package be sufficient?
