Andre, 1) Try to delete the folder martian-full-20080625/ 2) re-extract it again tar -zxvf martian-full-20080625.tar.gz 3) run make all and then if there are no errors run 4) make install If you get error messages, please put them as they appear. I used to run Mandrake a while back also and it brings me memories too. I had to hunt down several rpms like the devel package here to compile slmodem-2.9.X code. It does take some time to fix, but once it is working all is well after that. The trouble might be with the weird extensions -2mdk, -1mdk but that is another topic.
