For Г uncountable and p ≥ 1 odd, it is shown ℓp(г) admits no continuous p-times Gateaux differentiable bump function. A space is shown to admit a norm with Hölder derivative on its sphere if it admits a bounded bump function with uniformly directionally Hölder derivative. Some results on smooth approximation are obtained for spaces that admit bounded uniformly Gateaux differentiable bump functions.
