Using /lib/modules/2.#.##/misc/dgdm.o /lib/modules/2.#.##/misc/dgdm.o: The module you are trying to load (/lib/modules/2.#.##/misc/dgdm.o) is compiled with a gcc version 2 compiler, while the kernel you are running is compiled with a gcc version 3 compiler. This is known to not work.

Cause:

Solution:

Check the compiler version required by your kernel:

# more /proc/version

Look for the gcc version on the output of this command. If it is gcc 2.96, you will need to install the compat-egcs and compat-glibc packages for proper driver compilation. If the gcc version is 3.x, you will need to upgrade your gcc compiler to the same 3.x version. Additionally, any kgcc compilers should be removed for the driver compilation:

# rpm -e compat-egcs-c++
# rpm -e compat-egcs-g77
# rpm -e compat-egcs-objc
# rpm -e compat-egcs
# rpm -e compat-glibc

Packages to download and install for gcc version 3.2-7:

cpp-3.2-7.i386.rpm
libgcc-3.2-7.i386.rpm
glibc-devel-2.2.93-5.i386.rpm
glibc-common-2.2.93-5.i386.rpm
glibc-2.2.93-5.i386.rpm
binutils-2.13.90.0.2.-2.i386.rpm
gcc-3.2-7.i386.rpm

We had to use the force option to install:

# rpm -i --force cpp-3.2-7.i386.rpm libgcc-3.2-7.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.2.93-5.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.2.93-5.i386.rpm glibc-2.2.93-5.i386.rpm binutils-2.13.90.0.2.-2.i386.rpm gcc-3.2-7.i386.rpm
