MOL doesnt work

[pb]

Very strange one. Im running YDL 3.0.1 and want to try out Mac-on-Linux. I
ran the mol video setup as instructed, then tried to 'startmol'. It says
'Starting session 0' then gives me the following error:

No mol-0.9.69 kernel modules corresponding to the running 2.4.22-2f kernel
were found ('startmol --list displays installed version). Recompile the mol
kernel modules (recommended) or try starting MOL as root using the '-a'
switch.

Well Im already running in root. Do I need to update something? This was all
installed by YDL itself so I would expect it to run out of the box...

Thanks.

I played with it myself too, and it seems like YDL installs a MOL
multi-processor header library instead of one suited to the machine (in my
sase as well as the parent poster's, a single processor Mac). from there I
also was stuck as there is no readily usable library, (seems link one has
to compile it from downloaded sources... but was lost in the dependencies)

Any help out there would be appreiated here too!

The answer is here - works great now.

Well, this solution recommends upgrading kernel to 2.4.22-2g. Probably it's good.

I'm still experiencing problems while compiling mol-0.9.70 with
kernel-2.6.9-1.ydl.8custom. Compilation starts to break with following errors:

= Building kver_approx : ok
if [ "$KERNEL_TREES" ] ; then make -s multi_modules ; else make -s modules_ ; fi
+ Entering Linux
In file included from /usr/src/rpm/BUILD/mol-kmods-0.9.70/src/kmod/build/tmp-offsets.c:16:

and so on. Copying these files to src/kmod/include leads to:

and so on.

Any suggestions?

The easiest way is probably to download the sources from
www.maconlinux.org and build it yourself. I did that for my Mandrake
custom kernel w/o problems.
