make install problem, missing-syscalls

I'm trying to install my wlan driver, with make and make install. However it stops and I'm getting the following error message:

What is »missing-syscalls« supossed to mean and how can I fix the problem?

Re: make install problem, missing-syscalls

"missing-syscalls" doesn't mean anything, it's just a name of one of the targets in one of the makefiles you are using during the build.

Good ideas do not need lots of lies told about them in order to gain public acceptance.

Re: make install problem, missing-syscalls

I'm having the same problem on my machine trying to install the same driver, though my kernel version is 2.6.36.

Edit: Would like to add that make && make install has worked up until today, when I upgraded to the latest kernel.

Edit 2: This doesn't really solve the problem so much as avoid it, but I just found this driver as a package in the AUR, and that one compiles just fine. D'oh.
