Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX
OK, I gave it another try after listening to VoidMain's words of wisdom...

Thanks for the encouragement, Void. About that modem driver installation problem, i get an error message when doing the ./configure command saying that modversions.h doesn't exist and that I have to configure my kernel. Know what's this about?
Thanks again for helping.

Ok, I got them built and was able to insert the module into the running kernel without a problem (sorry for all the messages).
1) Make sure you have your kernel-headers and kernel-source RPMS installed.
2) cd /usr/src/linux
3) make xconfig
a. save/exit (don't actually have to change any options)
4) make dep
Then proceed with step 4 in the pctel README.
NOTE: if your kernel source isn't installed in "/usr/src/linux" it is probably in a directory something like "/usr/src/linux-2.4.???". It would be easiest to create a symbolic link "/usr/src/linux" that points to the other directory and then you won't have to give your "./configure" command the path to the kernel (and other source packages that look for the kernel source in /usr/src/linux). If you do not know how to create a symbolic link do this:
cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-2.4.???? linux
Replace the linux-2.4.???? above with the name of your actual directory.

Hi, I'm back, and posting this message on my Mandrake 8.1!
This time I installed my includes and sources correctly and the driver installation went smoothly - and I've even managed to put XawTV working correctly! I am delighted with Linux and considering it to be a viable alternative to Windoze (except for work - no Linux ports of Photoshop, Freehand, Flash or UltraDev).
Thanks for all the help, VoidMain. Will be back again in a couple of days.

Do us all a favor and send a note to Adobe and Macromedia asking for a Linux version of their products. I think Adobe actually did port Photoshop a year or two ago but apparently it didn't make them any money. Probably because "GIMP" is a better graphics package then Photoshop.
Flash is o.k. as an option but I despise it on the front page of web sites, personal opinion. Send Macromedia/Adobe a note asking for Linux versions of their authoring tools. The more people that use Linux the more apps will be ported. Then again, the more apps that are ported will attract more people, chicken/egg.

We use Win4Lin at work to run flash under linux and this works gr8, only problem is that win4lin is not a free program, but it's not really expensive either so this might be a good option for you to dump windows completely (and if you get win4lin and one of your windows programs doesn't run or runs slowpoke style they have a 30 days money back guarantee) or you can try (if you have a hefty pc that is) VMWare, which just emulates a whole pc....

The thing is, I'm a professional web designer, and most of my work is done with Flash (complete websites, not just frontpages)...I'm stuck with Flash. :(
I d/led VMWare 3.0 Beta but it asks me for a serial (didn't give my 30 -day trial).
I've installed an Acqua theme and icons on my KDE and it looks prettier than Windoze!
:D
