I have recently installed Redhat 7 on a machine running an NVIDIA geforce 2mx graphics card. The config is Athlon 1.2G, Nvidia geforce 2mx and a AZZA KT3ABX motherboard.
After installation the linux and linux-2.2.16 kernel sources were installed, as redhat left them out( as per http://www.evil3D.net)!!!.The correct drivers were then downloaded from Nvidia (the tar ones, not the rpms). Then when the following command was issued (under the corrosponding new directory)
make SYSINCLUDE=/usr/src/linux/include/
I got
make: no such command
when i typed
man make
again the command was not recognized in the manual pages?

why is the make command useless?
I know i am doing something stupid as i am a Newbie to linux. can anyone help before i return to the dreaded MS empire.

I am a newbie using mandrake 8.0 so I don't know if this will help. 1) try being logged in as root when issuing the "make" command. 2) also check out http://www.littlewhitedog.com for a Mandrake walkthrough. Much of it is general and will apply to Red Hat and there are some nice newbie tips.

Hope this helps....

thanks
 

Thanks for the quick reply.
However I was logged on as root for the install. The site you mentioned is great and i am sure the answer will be there.

Why Make Doesn't work
 

I had a similiar problem under Mandrake 8.0 you need to install a compiler, which should be in the developer's/programmers packages on your install CDs. I'm not familiar with Redhat so I don't know how to do this, but it may get you going in the right direction.

many thanks everyone it works
 

with all your input i was able to configure the nvidia card in an hour. I installed the compiler from RedHat and that activated the make command. Then by following all the other instructions i managed to access the GUI for gnome shortly afterwards.
I am currently celebrating with a victory pint of beer.
