Hello Cliff,

I am using click version 2.0.1.
I did not do any changes in the source. And while configuring I supplied
click with the option

--with-linux=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-30-generic

This configures without any error. However as mentioned earlier when I run
make install the installation process exits with the following error:

Modification of a read-only value attempted at ./click-elem2man line 231.
make[1]: ***[install-man] Error 25
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/udit/Desktop/click-2.0.1/doc'
make: *** [install-doc] Error 2

But the click.ko and proclikefs.ko file were generated in the folder
linuxmodules. So I copied them to the folder /usr/local/lib and tried
running the test.click file in conf folder. It exited with the error:

insmod: error inserting '/usr/local/lib/click.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in
module
click-install: '/sbin/insmod /usr/local/lib/click.ko' failed

I really don't have a clue what I did wrong.

Regards,
Udit
