RE: Insmod problems

[Tyler BIRD]

in linux/module.h header file
KERNEL_VERSION is defined.

what you need to do is make sure the directory /usr/include is a link
to the include directory in your kernel source and not the header files os some other kernel.

if you cant do that try something like this

___NO_VERSION___
#include <linux/module.h>
KERNEL_VERSION(major,minor,release)

I've changed my source file like this:
#define MODULE

#include <linux/module.h>

int init_module(void)  { printk("<1>Hello, world\n");
return 0; }
void cleanup_module(void) { printk("<1>Goodbye cruel
world\n"); }

And I use the following message to build the module.
But when I use insmod to load the module I got the
following error message:

hello.o : kernel-module version mismatch
         hello.o was compiled for kernel version
2.4.12
         while this kernel is version 2.4.8

What is wrong? My kernel version is 2.4.8. Is there
something wrong with the gcc compilier? My gcc
compilier is gcc-2.95.

Thanks to everyone. Your help is very beneficial to
me.
