Recommended Posts

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 directory

adsl-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?

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

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 :)
