Where can I download kgcc?

Where can I download kgcc? The reason why I am asking on this forum is because I need it to compile tulip.c to make my LAN card work!

I have used all of the search engines I can think of, and everyone seems to assume that you already have it. Anyhow, I have Red Hat 7.0, and I WOULD APPRECIATE A REPLY ASAP!

Thanks,
Zeke

Hey,
I want a specific site for the download, not just a link to a search engine! I already tried searching for it, and I said that in my message!

Download here:

please do not just use this site as your own personal search engine. i found it in seconds from google... and you certainly do not need it to compile your driver. your driver is probably already on your system ready to go anyway

Where were you suggesting the driver might be?

You edited that in, in time that it wasnt counted as a full edit by the forum (under 120 seconds?)-I remember your 'ASAP' line was longer.
Dont double post, results will come no faster.

just try to run "modprobe tulip" if it there it will try to load it. like i said thoguh. you do not need kgcc.

Zeke · 03-21-2003, 06:36 PM

Honestly,
I don't know what you're talking about. How could I have even done that and what's the significance of it anyway?

Zeke · 03-21-2003, 06:38 PM

where might the driver be if it is on my system?

Proud · 03-21-2003, 06:52 PM

I do believe that modprobe tulip command would search your pc for the driver/module named tulip, and then automatically load it.

Zeke · 03-21-2003, 07:52 PM

Let's try this again...
I am not trying to be lazy this time, I have been trying to figure this out for a matter of weeks now.
I am certain that the driver is not already on my system, because I looked in /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net...or some path to that effect. Anyway, when I have the C program, I just need to compile it, and the reason why I needed (or thought I needed) kgcc is because when I tried it with just gcc it first said that you need to use the -O option, so I did, then it came up with a bunch of errors in the source, like a whole screen of them, so I don't know if it's the source or what, but I got it from the Linksys site, which is the company that manufactured my card, so any help would be awesome!

You can't compile stuff by using gcc directly (well you can in theory, but good luck...). You have to read the instructions (you'll probably need to type a few 'make' commands). Using kgcc instead of gcc might be necessary in this case, but your errors most likely have nothing to do with this.

Since you clearly have no idea how to compile stuff from source, why not try acid's modprobe suggestion? I would think that RH might have the relevant module somewhere on its CDs.
