make (doesnt work i get this error)

 

Making all in man

Sounds like you don't have the devel apps installed. Try:

 

urpmi make

 

and if that fails, check which packages are available:

 

urpmf --name make

 

alternatively, you can use the Software installation app in the GUI to search for and install packages.

 

PS - Please do not double-post, I've removed your second post which had the exact same question. I've also removed the same question you added to another post! ;)

Welcome to the board stephen!

 

this is going to be my first program i am going to install

 

Then you'll want to look at urpmi, I'm pretty sure there's a faq here in the faq section. It's a much simpler way of installing it.

 

urpmi make

no no no no! Wrong! Why do people still do this!

 

If a newbie is trying to compile an application on a brand new Mandriva install, you tell them to use urpmi. Not how to compile from the tarball. Nearly every time they are compiling because they dont know urpmi exists, or have not setup repositories. ettercap ought to have a package, otherwise there's also wireshark which should definitely have a package.

ettercap ought to have a package, otherwise there's also wireshark which should definitely have a package.

The package name is ettercap-ng, and it is available along with wireshark (which I use) in the repos.
