Get the pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-7.tar.gz
Unpack under Linux with:
tar zxf pctel*.tar.gz
and read instuctions therein.
Read Pctel.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
Writing Pctel.txt
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udevdb
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.0.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.0.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.0
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
If a driver compilation files with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example.
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
$ sudo apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
While some of the files may be on the install CD, others may have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
For Ubuntu Feisty, additional packages required were:
libc6-dev linux-libc-dev
available through http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , if not on the install CD.
Such packages may have different names for other Linux distributions.
Try installing just the libc6-dev, then test the compile again.
