Drafter, Compiling fails because you do not have gcc installed: This is directly from ScanModem output that you have sent. You need to do this so that your modem drivers can compile $ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0 make Additionally the package linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 must be downloaded. Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 After downloading, it can be installed with: $ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb If that is unsuccessful, do try the alternate methods provided below. \begin{QUOTE} If compiling a modem driver proves to be necessary, one of the two procedures must be followed. If not yet on the Internet, put the Dapper install CD in the drive Open a terminal and therein: $ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0 make Additionally the package linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 must be downloaded. Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 After downloading, it can be installed with: $ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb Or alternatively if online through Ethernet do: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install build-essential will do all the necessary installations mentioned above. In either installation case, set a symbolic link which will be expected later: $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc After check with: $ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc* which should display: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-07-09 21:53 /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93584 2006-04-20 18:22 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16245 2006-04-20 18:13 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.0 linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: gcc-4.0 make linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev If an alternate ethernet connection is available, $ apt-get update $ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel will install needed package For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list: Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition, they can be installed alltogether with: $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb \end{QUOTE} Hope this helps, Antonio On 1/16/08, - Drafter - <it.drafter@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I'm having some hard time installing the driver...
