i am trying to install ndiswrapper for my broadcom 802.11g wireless card, and when i type "make install" as the directions show, i get an error that basically says the source is missing. I am running suse 9.2 professional, and i've heard that the kernel source can be installed from either cd4 or cd5, which are both full of rpm's.
can someone tell me what to install to get this working, or how i can install every rpm from both of the cd's? i have ample hdd space
okay i found a gcc-3.4.3.tar.bz2, d/loaded it, untarred it, and tried to figure out how to install it but it was wayyyy the hell over my head. is there a place where i can get an rpm to install through yast?
With SuSE, you have YaST, or Yet Another Setup Tool. Yast can usually install ANYTHING necessary. Open YaST -> software and click install or remove software. Then you can search for what you need.
I installed the kernel source and GCC by seaching for "kernel source" and "GCC" in the YaST2 search box. It was all there. You can usually see which package in the list to choose without much trouble. SuSE will install them for you and manage dependencies too!
