cannot link module as non root

Hi, As Warren asked, I report a failure to build a module as a non root user with kernel 2.6.5-1.327, as a follow up on bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117645 It has improved a lot though. Now the compilation seems to be done right, but stage 2 fails. As a user, I get: CC [M] /home/pat/src/eagleusb/driver/eu_eth.o LD [M] /home/pat/src/eagleusb/driver/eagle-usb.o Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST /bin/sh: line 1: ./.__modpost.cmd: Permission denied make[2]: *** [__modpost] Error 1 make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2 And as root it is: CC [M] /home/pat/src/eagleusb/driver/eu_eth.o LD [M] /home/pat/src/eagleusb/driver/eagle-usb.o Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST LD [M] /home/pat/src/eagleusb/driver/eagle-usb.ko I attached the full make output. make.pat as a user, make.root as root. Pat
