Compiling error while installing Realtek RTL8111E in 64 bit 13.10. “CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils...
I downloaded the Linux drivers for my onboard RTL8111E (Mobo MSI B75 Pro3-M) from the Realtek site. The Realtek driver has been updated 23/09/2013, so I assume it can handle 64 bit Ubuntu (13.10 in my case). It seems to be compatible with kernel 3.xx.
I run autorun.sh as root but get the following error: “CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support”
I didn't expect this error, as my OS is 64 bit. Does anybody know how to fix this ?
Kind regards,
David.

I finally found the cause thanks to this link.
It seems that one shouldn't have spaces in the folder names (containing the driver of course) when building the driver. Replacing the spaces with underscores fixed the issue. I could build just like that. Strange... but it worked!

It 'makes' for me on my 64-bit system without drama except for a notation about private key which may safely be ignored. Do you have binutils installed?
sudo dpkg -s binutils
If not, install it:
sudo apt-get install binutils
Then try again:
sudo -i
cd /home/<user_name>/r8168-8.037.00/
make clean
make
make install
exit

Many thanks for your help, I had high hopes. Unfortunately it didn't work. Binutils was already installed. The error “CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support” remains. I installed 13.04, thinking that might help, but that didn't change anything either. Any other suggestions ?

Compiling drivers involves a kernel header make, which can fail with CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support if the kernel source directory belongs to root and you're running as an unprivileged user. Check in your make output to see if CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support appears in the kernel source directory, in which case try building the kernel sources (or your entire driver source) with sudo make.
Another common cause of CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support is spaces in the compilation directory as mentioned by David Van Huffel or binutils not installed as mentioned by chili555.

@Thomas It does provide an answer to the question. Driver compilation involves a necessary kernel header compilation step, which will fail withCONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils supportif the user does not have the correct permissions. Answer was maybe a little terse, I'll edit to make that more obvious.
