prisoner1572 Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 (edited) 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 Edited April 8, 2004 by prisoner1572 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 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/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
