Hi Antonio, Thanks for the suggestion - I tried it but the problem persists. (I should mention why the 'build' sub-dir works -- I manually added it to the dir in question.) Sigh . . . no matter what I do, the subdir 'build' is not there. Without it, I suspect I will never get this compiled. I would be tempted to try re-writing parts of the compiling process, but it probably would barf as well. So, maybe I'll switch distros since I had this problem while setting up Postgresql + Apache + PHP in an earlier version of Mandriva. I had to get source tarballs and build the shebang myself -- since Mandriva's penchant for using weird locations knows no bounds. With respect to the kernel, they expect 3rd party modules to be built in a rather unorthodox way. Your call to subdir 'build' does not exist on my 64 bit Mandriva 2008.0 development box, nor on any of the Mandriva kernels. So, I have another question: If I switched to Slackware 12.2 would I have any problems using scanModem, or martain-full-20080625.tar.gz? If so, what distro (aside from Ubuntu) would you suggest that works? Sorry to be such a nuisance with this . . .
