PLIZ HELP!!!

Hi,

you are trying to compile from source but you do not have a compiler.
Is there a reason why you do not just install it from an rpm package?

what compiler am i suppose to use?coz i downloaded a my NTFS-3G 2010.1.16 from http://www.soft32.com/Download/Free/...-200394-1.html i did not see an rpm file after extraction " fuse-2.6.5 fuse-2.6.5.tar.gz ntfs-3g-1.417 redhat.png " were the only files i got there after,what do i do next...

Try this link:
http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?i...m_instructions
Or just google for 'redhat5 ntfs rpm'. It will give you plenty results.
Hope this helps.

# yum install ntfs-3g

But if you have no Redhat account,
do not expect to be able to use the OS.

There are two free versions of RH EL 5 :
CentOS 5.5, Scientific Linux SL55.
Please use one of those, if you don't
want to pay for Redhat software / updates.

This is the error am getting when I install it using rpm

warning: kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 37017186
error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES




still nt working


and when I tried to check whether ntfs file system exists using cat /proc/filesystems still it does not exist.

thanks,
how do i knw my version?

Did you do install as normal user or as root?

Do you mean the Redhat version ?

This command will show : cat /etc/redhat-release


This package : kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.src.rpm
is source code (= SRC RPM) for the oldest kernel, EL5.
I don't think, you can use that for anything at all.
And with no 'rpm-build' installed, you can't unpack
source code to /usr/src/redhat/ with # rpm.
..
Suggest : Install CentOS 5.5 instead of Redhat EL 5.
..

Am the root,thx.

You are supposed to download a rpm which contains the binaries. Try this location:
http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=redhat:rhel5

Download the appropriate rpm-package and repeat the install as described in the link I gave you earlier.

Thats what I did,I tried redownloading and re-installing it,still I get the same above mentioned error...
dont know what to do.
