Can't compile on Ubuntu 6.10 (no rule to make interrupt.o

Installed Parallels debian package on Ubuntu 6.10, dealt with the /bin/sh -> dash/bash dealio, now running into compilation errors when running parallels-config.

Tail of the error log:

I've already got the appropriate kernel headers installed, as well as the build-essential packages. This is a development machine, and I successfully compile a lot of things, just not parallels (?).

Thanks for your help

 

I had the same errors installing things (mainly QEMU) I had to add these:

gcc-3.4
libsdl1.2-dev
checkinstall

Just a stab in the dark but worth a try.

Thanks

 

Try linux-kernel-devel

I had no problems getting parallels-config to build and install. I did also install the linux-kernel-devel and linux-libc-dev packages. You might give those a shot.

Solved!

Problem was solved by installing linux-kernel-devel package; interrupt.o is now built, resulting in a successful Parallels build.

Thanks Ryan, your post helped to resolve the issue.

 

I wrote a how-to for others to follow when installing Parallels Workstation on Ubuntu:

Hope it helps someone. (At the very least I've got the process documented should I ever need to install Parallels again.)
