This patch implies that you are using Buildroot to build wpa_supplicant. If 
so, the Buildroot mailing list is the appropriate place to discuss package 
dependency problems. Make sure to post your .config file so that others are 
able to reproduce the build failure you see.

Their permission is Read only, but even if I changed their permission to Read & Write, the error is still there and I don't know how to correct it.
