Brian 0) unless you have done a full Ubuntu Intrepid installation, you should first work under a kernel like 2.6.24-21-generic, to get the modem working. The 2.7.27 kernels were compiled with a gcc-4.3 compiler, so you would have to install gcc-4.3 and all its depedent packages too. I am working under a mixed Hardy/Intrepid installation but it is NONE trivial keeping track of their separate requirements. Not for the novice 1) you don't need the build-essential. 2) martian-20080617.tar.bz2 is not needed since you also downloaded the martian-full-20080625.tar.gz which includes the ltmdmobj.o Just work in the folder unpacked from martian-full-20080625.tar.gz 3) to clean up the libc6-dev situation, you probably have to download from http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/libc6 the libc6 package. Then again $ sudo dpkg -i libc6 libc6-dev But you should really be working under Hardy, not the 2.7.27 Intepid kernel.
