I am trying to install a driver for my Satellite-Pro 4600 Soft-Modem and, according to the intallation documentation, I need the 'correct path to the local kernel source tree' (see extract below). Any assistance to help me further down the line would be reatly

appreciated.

3. Review and edit 'Makefile' (if need):

 

In many cases you will need to correct path to your local kernel

source tree:

 

KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/linux

 

Default KERNEL_DIR is '/lib/modules/<kerne-version>/build'. Many Linux

Distributions use directory '/usr/src/linux-<version>' also.

 

Note: If you are using Linux kernel 2.4, only header files should be

available for build in $(KERNEL_DIR)/include

 

Another way to pass right value KERNEL_DIR is to use command line

parameter while running 'make':

 

$ make KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/linux ...

The path is probably

/usr/src/linux

if you are running a newly installed Mandrake and have not recompiled your kernel.
