Fuse issue


I am trying to mount an NTFS volume and ntfs-3g is returning "Fuse not found, try modprobe fuse as root" modprobe returns FATAL: no module "fuse".

So I tried to run /usr/bin/locate fuse.ko which outputs:

Code:
bash-4.1# /usr/bin/locate fuse.k
/usr/src/linux-2.6.37.6/fs/fuse/fuse.ko
/usr/src/linux-2.6.37.6/fs/fuse/.fuse.ko.cmd
/lib/modules/2.6.37.6-smp/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.37.6/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.37.6-Gene-PC/kernel/fs/fuse/fuse.ko
The only issue is I'm running the 3.2.11 kernel. I tried downloading fuse from sourceforge and compiling for my kernel, but it for some reason does not install fuse.ko.

Running /usr/bin/locate fuse returns a lot of information relating to the 2.6X kernel and only returns very little information relating to the 3.2.11 kernel.

Code:
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/Documentation/filesystems/fuse.txt
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/include/linux/fuse.h
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl8712_efuse.c
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl8712_efuse.h
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/efuse.c
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/efuse.h
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/fs/fuse
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/fs/fuse/control.c
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/fs/fuse/dir.c
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/fs/fuse/fuse_i.h
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/fs/fuse/cuse.c
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/fs/fuse/inode.c
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/fs/fuse/Kconfig
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/fs/fuse/Makefile
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/fs/fuse/dev.c
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/fs/fuse/file.c
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/arch/arm/mach-tegra/fuse.c
/usr/src/linux-3.2.11/arch/arm/mach-tegra/fuse.h
No errors were returned during compilation of fuse. Why don't I have the *.ko file?

Because you need to compile it into the kernel as a module.
Issue a
Code:
make menuconfig/xconfig
inside /usr/src/linux-3.2.11, go to the filesystem section and enable fuse filesystem support.
Then, recompile the kernel and modules, install the recompiled kernel and modules and you're done.
