Antonio and MarvS
Thank you for your responses and I have a couple of follow-up questions.
I used the Ubuntu Software Center to uninstall martian-modem-source,
but I did not think to check for other files that might remain before
I did the tar download.
I downloaded the martian-full-20100123.tar.gz file, and the file is
now in my Download subdirectory.
I now have the following files on my system with "martian" as part of
the filename.
/home/systemadmin/Downloads/martian-full-20100123.tar.gz, 21 Apr
2011, tar archive
Some of these files in this group may be from the tar download and
some might be left over from the martian-modem-source install and removal.
/etc/init.d/martian-modem, 5 Feb 2010, shell script
/etc/default/martian-modem, 5 Feb 2010, plain text document
/var/lib/update-rc.d/martian-modem, 22 Mar 2011, plain text document
/var/lib/dpkg/info/martian-modem.postrm, 5 Feb 2010, shell script
/var/lib/dpkg/info/martian-modem.list,21 Apr 2010, plain text document
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/log_martians, 23 Apr 2011, plain text document
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/log_martians, 23 Apr 2011, plain text document
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lo/log_martians, 23 Apr 2011, plain text document
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/log_martians, 23 Apr 2011, plain text document
I think this group of files is left over from the
martian-modem-source Ubuntu Software Center install.
/etc/rc0.d/K20martian-modem, 5 Feb 2010, link to shell script
/etc/rc1.d/K20martian-modem, 5 Feb 2010, link to shell script
/etc/rc2.d/S20martian-modem, 5 Feb 2010, link to shell script
/etc/rc6.d/K20martian-modem, 5 Feb 2010, link to shell script
/etc/rc4.d/S20martian-modem, 5 Feb 2010, link to shell script
/etc/rc5.d/S20martian-modem, 5 Feb 2010, link to shell script
/etc/rc3.d/S20martian-modem, 5 Feb 2010, link to shell script
My follow-up questions:
Should I ignore the other "martian" files and proceed with the tar
decompression and compile? (see other questions below)
Should I remove all of the "martian" files including the tar file and
start again by downloading the tar file?
Should I delete any of the files in the first group above? (e.g.
/etc/init.d/martian-modem, 5 Feb 2010, shell script)
Should I delete the K20martian-modem and S20martian-modem files in
the /etc/rc... subdirectories that remain from the
martian-modem-source install?
Do I run the tar decompression from the Download subdirectory or
another location?
I looked for a lib6 package on the Ubuntu Software Center, and did
not find a package.
Is the reference to the lib6 package the same as libc6-dev?
The Ubuntu Software Center indicates that libc6-dev and
linux-libc-dev are both on my laptop.
Is there a terminal command that I can use to determine if
libc6-dev and linux-libc-dev are correctly installed?
or
Do I still need to use the dpkg command to install libc6-dev (libc6*)?
Should I also use the dpkg command to install linux-libc-dev?
Again, thank you in advance for your advice.

Joe,
Download
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/martian-full-20100123.tar.gz
and look for lib6 package as line output by scanModem recommends
For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also
required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev
packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at
http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
After successful installation of the libc6 package with
$ sudo dpkg -i libc6*
run
$ tar -zxvf martian-full-20100123.tar.gz
and
$ cd martian-full-20100123
$ make all
$ sudo make install
$ sudo modprobe martian_dev
$ sudo martian_modem
leave it running and open another shell/tab and type
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
and hopefully it will find /dev/ttySM0 as the modem port, if it does,
then edit (with sudo priviledges) the file /etc/wvdial.conf and add
the line
"Carrier Check = no"
and then run
$ sudo wvdial
to see if you can connect. If you can connect/not connect send us
what messages you get so that we may try to help you.
Regards,
Antonio
