newbie needs help


Recommended Posts

i'm on mandrake 9.2 build 2.4.22

 

when i run make, i get this:

[root@minint-9fhgzn usbvision-0.3.3-test5]# make; make install; modprobe usbvision

make: *** No rule to make target `i2c-algo-usb.o', needed by `all'. Stop.

cp usbvision.rc /etc/rc.d/init.d/usbvision

cp: cannot stat `usbvision.rc': No such file or directory

make: *** [install] Error 1

 

this error is a little different from some others other people get but i still need the kernel source installed

 

so look for how to fix this and i find that i need my kernel source to link to the build directory like this:

 

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24 Mar 9 21:59 build -> /usr/src/benh_kernel_2.6

 

and it also said, "You do have the kernel source installed, right?"

 

we'll from the looks of it, i don't because i don't anything in the /usr/src/ directory that would have anything to do with my kernel

if you run this from a terminal:

$ rpm -qa | grep kernel

you will get something back like this:

kernel-2.6.3.7mdk-1-1mdk
kernel-source-2.6.3-7mdk

which is the kernel and the source I have installed, but seeing your have 9.2 installed, you may have its default kernel installed, which is:

kernel-2.4.22-10mdk

and will need to find the following file from any one of the normal ftp sites:

kernel-source-2.4.22-10mdk.i586.rpm

 

Unfortunately, all these ftp servers are in an un-usable state at the moment due to the changes involved with Community edition going Official.

 

In the meantime... if you haven't already... maybe you can tackle a kernel upgrade to

kernel-2.4.22-28mdk

 

That file and its matching kernel-sources are available from our own server:

ftp://mandrake-forum.org/pub/Mandrake/Updates/9.2/
