Error when build ether controler

[m00nlight]

Hello everyone:
I am currently build the ether on a centOS 5.6_x64 system. I
successfully build the xen
and the ether patches and can boot both the domain0 and domainU
system. But when I build the ether controler, I encounter the problem
as follows:

And I grep the source code under ehter_ctl , it seems that only the
syscalls.c have the
identify SYSCALL_CALL, but there is no definition in any file in the
folder. Have any one
encounter the same problem, and can someone help me fix this problem.

Thanks a lot.

You will need to build Ether using a Debian system as described in the instructions.

I too ran into this same error after attemping to reinstall Ether on my test box. Not sure what it means as I am using Debian Lenny as stated in the install documents. Oddly I did not run into this error the first time I installed Ether.
