Re: missing "System.map" and depmod skipped

Hi Dave,

 Thank you for answering, does that mean I can ignore the depmod failing and proceed assuming the installation was successful?

Sincerely,
Saif Mostafa

Hi,
The linux-gpib Makefile runs depmod for you. So your installation should be fine. In Debian based systems, like Ubuntu, the depmod.sh script fails with the message you posted.

Hello,

 I am having trouble installing the linux gpib drivers on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. I was able to build using the make command but once I move on to the install I get:
"Warning: modules_install: missing 'System.map' file. Skipping depmod."

 I am sure this is a common problem but I am not really familiar with it. I also wanted to mention that I am not entirely sure I am doing all the correct steps as I untar the downloaded tarball in the Downloads directory and the install file mentioned a lot about having a copy of the kernel source. I anticipate this might be one of those "building against a different kernel" but I am hoping I could get some help.

Sincerely,
Saif Mostafa
