I am following this How-To: http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etch_openvz To getting OpenVZ installed on Debian Etch. I am getting the error below after entering command: make-kpkg --append_to_version=-1-openvz --added_patches=openvz --revision=1 kernel_image Below is the Error output and as you can see it complains about GCC command not found? Below is the error output: * some of the repeated output has been Truncated * Code: debian:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18# make-kpkg --append_to_version=-1-openvz --added_patches=openvz --revision=1 kernel_image exec make -f /usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/minimal.mk debian DEBIAN_REVISION=1 APPEND_TO_VERSION=-1-openvz KPKG_SELECTED_PATCHES="openvz" [B]sh: gcc: command not found[/B] dpkg-architecture: warning: Couldn't determine gcc system type, falling back to default (native compilation) sh: gcc: command not found dpkg-architecture: warning: Couldn't determine gcc system type, falling back to default (native compilation) sh: gcc: command not found dpkg-architecture: warning: Couldn't determine gcc system type, falling back to default (native compilation) sh: gcc: command not found dpkg-architecture: warning: Couldn't determine gcc system type, falling back to default (native compilation) ====== making target minimal_debian [new prereqs: ]====== This is kernel package version . test -d debian || mkdir debian test ! -e stamp-building || rm -f stamp-building test -f debian/control || sed -e 's/=V/2.6.18-1-openvz/g' \ -e 's/=D/1/g' -e 's/=A/i386/g' \ -e 's/=SA//g' -e 's/=L/ /g' \ -e 's/=I//g' \ -e 's/=CV/2.6/g' \ -e 's/=M/Unknown Kernel Package Maintainer <[email protected]>/g' \ -e 's/=ST/linux/g' -e 's/=B/i386/g' \ /usr/share/kernel-package/Control > debian/control test -f debian/changelog || sed -e 's/=V/2.6.18-1-openvz/g' \ -e 's/=D/1/g' -e 's/=A/i386/g' \ -e 's/=ST/linux/g' -e 's/=B/i386/g' \ -e 's/=M/Unknown Kernel Package Maintainer <[email protected]>/g' \ /usr/share/kernel-package/changelog > debian/changelog install -p -m 755 /usr/share/kernel-package/rules debian/rules for file in ChangeLog Control Control.bin86 config templates.in rules; do \ cp -f /usr/share/kernel-package/$file ./debian/; \ done for dir in Config docs examples ruleset scripts pkg po; do \ cp -af /usr/share/kernel-package/$dir ./debian/; \ done test -d ./debian/stamps || mkdir debian/stamps exec debian/rules DEBIAN_REVISION=1 APPEND_TO_VERSION=-1-openvz KPKG_SELECTED_PATCHES="openvz" kernel_image sh: gcc: command not found dpkg-architecture: warning: Couldn't determine gcc system type, falling back to default (native compilation) sh: gcc: command not found dpkg-architecture: warning: Couldn't determine gcc system type, falling back to default (native compilation) sh: gcc: command not found ====== making target CONFIG-common [new prereqs: testdir]====== ====== making target debian/stamp-conf [new prereqs: ]====== # work around idiocy in recent kernel versions test ! -e scripts/package/builddeb || \ mv -f scripts/package/builddeb scripts/package/builddeb.kpkg-dist test ! -e scripts/package/Makefile || \ (mv -f scripts/package/Makefile scripts/package/Makefile.kpkg-dist && \ (echo "# Dummy file "; echo "help:") > scripts/package/Makefile) test -d debian || mkdir ./debian test ! -e stamp-building || rm -f stamp-building test ! -f ./debian || test -f stamp-debian || test -f debian/official || \ (rm -rf ./debian && mkdir ./debian) test ! -f applied_patches || rm -f applied_patches for patch in /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/apply/openvz ; do \ if test -x $patch; then \ if $patch; then \ echo "Patch $patch processed fine"; \ echo "$patch" >> applied_patches; \ else \ echo "Patch $patch failed."; \ echo "Hit return to Continue"; \ read ans; \ fi; \ fi; \ done START applying openvz patch (OpenVZ kernel patch for virtual server support) Testing whether "OpenVZ kernel patch for virtual server support" patch for 2.6.18 applies (dry run): 6 out of 30 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c.rej 1 out of 8 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file net/ipv6/udp.c.rej "OpenVZ kernel patch for virtual server support" patch for 2.6.18 does not apply cleanly Patch /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/apply/openvz failed. Hit return to Continue make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop. make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop. Then I tryed to install gcc with apt-get install gcc and still getting the errors. I've attached a text file of the errors in hope someone can help! Would really appreciate any help! I am trying to get a good install done quickly! PS: I think this how2 is good BUT think somewhere it is confusing or missing a step or so that is causing this error. Joe
Till, here's the output of GCC... Note: I just ran a new install - The output below is based on new fresh new install Debian Etch. Code: debian:~# which gcc debian:~# It looks like gcc is not installed as part of the normal debian etch installation. Also, I did a apt-update as well - still same thing. joe
