Installing Xen 3.0.3 on Debian Sarge

[grel]

Hi,

Having lots of issues installing xen 3.0.3 source on debian sarge.
I am still at the install level and when I run "make install" it ends with
the error:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [tapdisk] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/xen-3.0.3_0-src/tools/blktap/drivers'
make[2]: *** [install] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/xen-3.0.3_0-src/tools/blktap'
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/xen-3.0.3_0-src/tools'
make: *** [install-tools] Error 2

Please help

Are there any errors before the output you posted?

good news: I resolved the previous error by installing dev86 package (I had to use the dpkg --force - install option as dev86 conflicts with as86 and bin86)

bad news: I am still in my error ofter error loop. Now I have the following:


make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xen-3.0.3_0-src/tools/firmware'

I'm not sure where this error comes from. But do you need to compile Xen from the sources, or would installing the Xen binary package be sufficient?
