Problem Running MAKE
 

I have recently installed SimplyMEPIS, and am having trouble compiling ndiswrapper-1.41. When I follow the instructions posted on the MEPIS Wiki, I keep getting the following error:

Cant find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-desktop/build:
give the path to kernel build directory with:
KBUILD=<path> argument to make

As a Linux newbie, I have no idea what to do next. Did I not install a required component? Do I need to adjust my path? Help, please!!

Why don't you use ndiswrapper that comes with mepis?

Let me know the results of

ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

and

ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/kernel

ChunkyDrew, if you still want to compile ndiswrapper, try this as root:

ln -s /usr/src/linux-`uname -r` /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

notice the backticks above.

Now try to compile ndiswrapper.

Hopefully it will work.
