When I tried to install PCTEL HSP56 MR, after having downloaded
I stuck. This was the output (according to the advise in the package): horst:/ # configure bash: configure: command not found horst:/ # cd /usr/src/linux/pc* horst:/usr/src/linux/pctel-0.9.6 # configur bash: configur: command not found horst:/usr/src/linux/pctel-0.9.6 # make clean make: *** No rule to make target `clean'.

Thanks! |
Charo,
Hey, it should be ' ./configure ' (dot slash configure) and then you 'make' and 'make install'. Iam not trying to be negative here, but if you have an internal modem (pctel) there is a remote chance that it's going to work. Cuz I used the same one before and I searched on for solutions for like 3 months before finally giving up. The result, I couldn't get it to work.. Good Luck Intercodes |
Hi intercodes,
How long ago did you try to do this? We (maintenance team) think it's working now... I'd be interested to hear what problems you are encountering. Regards, Jeff PS: thanks for explaining the config process :) PPS: there is a known problem in FC4, btw, if you're using that and you observe mouse problems. I have a fix for it but am still waiting for an official test/release cycle. |
hey helmut_hed,
Thanks for stopping by to see my problem. Now that I switched to broadband, I have no need for getting that internal modem to work. Anyz, I was trying to get pctel driver work for redhat-9, Fedora core 1 & 3 , some 5 months ago I guess. I followed all the steps described in the installation steps and also pctel problem threads in various forums .. all in vain. I think there was no problem with the installation. But when I start up the modem and dial , it wont dial at all. Here is my previous post in LJ on that. Redhat_pctel Intercodes |

Thanks friends for your comments.
What I cannot understand is, that the modem is recognized in the install process of yast, but it doesn't react, when I dial. So i have tried the installation of the driver via console and I stuck. I am not a linux freak. I'm just a user who since 9 monts has abandoned windows and since that time tries to come along with linux (suse 9.0). I have almost no experience in programming, compiling a.s.o. and I just want my devices and programs to run. Also I don't understand many special terms and abbreviations, which are used in your language. Please be patient with me. Now, is there a way to get the modems running or have I to give up like I was counselled in the first reply to my call? Charo |
intercodes: looks like you were working on this problem in August of 2004, which is before we got 2.6 kernels working. Everything should be fine now.
charo: unfortunately YaST is not going to help you here. You'll have to do it manually - programming skill isn't required, but you will have to type a few commands. Something like this should work for you: get this file from the web: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pcte...-rht-4c.tar.gz type the following commands in a shell window: tar xvzf pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-4c.tar.gz cd pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-4c/src ./configure -auto make su root (at this point you should type your root password) make install make insmod your modem should now be usable. The YaST configuration will probably want to know which "modem device" you are using - please tell it /dev/ttyS_PCTEL0 (instead of /dev/modem). There's no reason to give up that I know of. Good luck, Jeff |

Hi Jeff,
thanks for your advice. I have done so but already with "./configure..." I stuck again. My steps: I have downloaded the version you have recommended As I didn't know to start from which directory I did it from my download directory (maybe a mistake already?) Istrted with the commands you have given me. Now let me show you the result.

Thanks so far Charo ("horst" is my civilian name) |
Wow, this is very strange. Your system does not seem to have "bash" or a working version of "tar". I don't know why this is. Is it possible to use a more recent version of SuSE?
Regards, Jeff |
pctel hsp56
no, I think I have bash and tar. bash is answering sometimes as you see in my first mail. and in spite of "cannot..." tar created a directory which contained "configure" and some other files which seem to be the correct ones. But then configure didn't work because my C-interpreter seems to have a problem. But I have checked it. it is installed correctly as far as I can see.
The version of suse is 9.0 it is not so antique that this can be a reason. Now I have seen, that I have Kernel 2.4.1 in SuSE 9.0 I think, to change the Kernel would mean also to change the environment or is it possible to change just the Kernel, if you say, that 2.6 would not have problems with installing the pctel hsp56? greetings Charo |
