Make doesn't work. Again!
 
Dear Experts,

I'm running Redhat 5.2

cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.18-92.el5PAE (mockbuild@ca-build15.us.oracle.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-41)) #1 SMP Fri May 23 22:26:05 EDT 2008


uname -r
2.6.18-92.el5PAE


When I boot, I get a choice of:

title Enterprise Linux (2.6.18-92.el5PAE)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5PAE ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-92.el5PAE.img
title Enterprise Linux-xen (2.6.18-92.el5xen)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-92.el5
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5xen ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
module /initrd-2.6.18-92.el5xen.img
title Enterprise Linux-base (2.6.18-92.el5)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-92.el5.img

and I choose the first.


I'm trying to configure my Belkin USB network adapter
to work with it.

I've downloaded a number of files off the web
and I've been following the instructions.

But each time I run the make command,
as in the instructions, it fails.

So, I'm calling for help.

As you can see, there are lots of broken links.

Does anyone know the secret to getting make to work???

What is it please?

I not familiar with all the details of what you're trying to build. But glancing at the way you are doing things, just a couple quick observations. If you want to check for a fixed string in some text, you might want to consider using "fgrep" instead of "grep", since
"grep" or "egrep" will tend to interpret the string your seeking as various types of regular expressions. You might want to issue
the command:

man grep

at look at the relationship between the various forms of grep. Also, just because you have the binary files associated with
your kernel, doesn't mean you have the source files for it, what you might find in /usr/src/kernels if you had the source
for your particular kernel. It appears you might have the source for the "xen" kernel form, not the "PAE" form of the
kernel. You might need to get the source for the PAE form of the kernel.

Apparently, the kernel source or kernel headers package for that kernel is not installed.
