I got the following build error of aic7xxx drivers, with
kernel 2.4.6-pre8:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi'
make -C aic7xxx
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx'

The gcc I'm using is:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/egcs-2.91.66/specs gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here goes the relevant part of config:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
#
# SCSI low-level drivers
#
CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=y
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_CMDS_PER_DEVICE=253
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY_MS=15000
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_BUILD_FIRMWARE=y
[...]
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Cheers,

may be a 'make mrproper' solves your problem,

Unlikely since the problem is the fact that the scsi firmware assembler wants a library that isnt installed.

It is not necessary to re-build the firmware (according to Justin). Disable that option and try to rebuild again.

It seems the libdb is in fact installed. I just added a
symlink from libdb.so.3 to libdb.so and it worked. This was probably a side effect of installing glibc2.2 rpm from SuSE on top a SuSE 6.3 install (glibc2.1, IIRC).

Cheers,

PS: Why does the firmware assembler needs libdb, anyway??
