Ndiswrapper error when trying to compile [solved]

[Guest txwylde]

Tried to install NDISWRAPPER again. I made sure it was not running in the back ground. I first did this:

ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.27-0.pre2.1mdk /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/build

 

I then ran make and get this:

make -C driver

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/txwylde/ndiswrapper-1.1/driver'

Can't find kernel sources in /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/build;

give the path to kernel sources with KSRC=<path> argument to make

make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/txwylde/ndiswrapper-1.1/driver'

make: *** [all] Error 2

[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.1]# make install

make -C driver install

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/txwylde/ndiswrapper-1.1/driver'

Can't find kernel sources in /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/build;

give the path to kernel sources with KSRC=<path> argument to make

make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/txwylde/ndiswrapper-1.1/driver'

make: *** [install] Error 2

 

Any ideas?

Thanks

Do urpmi kernel-source. And is there a reason why you would want to build ndiswrapper? Else do urpmi ndiswrapper.

ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.27-0.pre2.1mdk /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/build

 

These kernel versions don't match (they aren't even the same series) - you need the kernel source for your currently running kernel!!

Use 'urpmi kernel-source-2.6 and have CD3 handy.

I started over from scratch and got it to work. Once I complied everything and rebooted X, it worked like a champ.
