DVB Card INSTALL
Dear Neos,
I think you can install the DVB card if u use redhat 7.3 at most or 7.2 redhat at least as the driver tar file has been created with gcc 2.* glibc and redhat 8.0 & 9.0 uses gcc3.* if i am correct so u can try with 7.3 redhat . What ever install type u use be sure to install rpm kernel-source*.rpm and #cd to /usr/src/linux2.*.* ; dir and unzip the pentaval tar and make a link #ln -s /usr/src/linux2.*.* /usr/src/linux ; then from then from the pentaval untared dir use ./configure and so on as the readme and INSTALL file says In hope that this will help u as it worked for me bye- farhanagri |
