RedTurtle Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 Just installed Mandrake 9.1 and, as usual everytime i do a new install, i'm having a lot of trouble getting my speedtouch modem to work. So, i did all the usual stuff and when i try adsl-start i get: /usr/sbin/adsl-start: line 1 /usr/bin/id : No such file or directoryadsl-start: You must be root to run this script well, i AM running it as root :? all the permissions seem fine but still, it doesnt start. help?

Steve Scrimpshire Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 Do you have a /usr/bin/ld file? That's the original error and apparently it thinks since it cannot find it you must not be root. [root@localhost omar]# which ld /usr/bin/ld If your ld is another location, you may have to edit the script on line 1. Or maybe you didn't install binutils? [root@localhost omar]# urpmf /usr/bin/ld binutils:/usr/bin/ld [root@localhost omar]# rpm -qa | grep binutils libbinutils2-2.11.90.0.8-5mdk binutils-2.11.90.0.8-5mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTurtle Posted April 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 thanks Steve. i cant seem to find the id file and i have all binutils installed, anyway, i installed a newer version of rp-pppoe wich replaced the adsl-start script and that problem seems to have disappered. still cant get the damn thing to connect, but at least i got rid of that annoying 'root' problem :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
