Won't compile with kernel 2.6.38-11 about acpi_call

[avilella]

Can you apply this command line and retry again?

sudo apt-get install build-essential
make clean
make

Was using this in an earlier kernel without issue, but since upgrading the kernel to 2.6.38-11 I get the following when trying to compile:

Wow, speedy response. :)

build-essential was already installed (and I already tried "make clean; make")...

If it makes any difference I'm running Kubuntu 11.04.

I recently updated to Ubuntu 11.04, and I am getting the same error - stdarg.h is missing. I think it has something to do with Ubuntu changing the default paths in /lib and /usr/lib for 32 and 64 bit systems.

This is what I get for locate stdarg.h:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.5/include/stdarg.h

Maybe the kernel module Makefile misses this path... However, I tried the DKMS method used in bumblebee and is works, so please try running the bumblebee DKMS script.

I ended up just using the entire bumblebee package installed from the ppa for ubuntu, works like a charm. :)
