MAKE help reqd please


Hi,

I have found a driver for my modem and now i have dowloaded it i still have a small problem.
I have untarred it and edited the include path in the makefile to read usr/include/linux as it says in the readme, the next step is to run make, but this gives me a screen full on double dutch.

Am i missing something and how do i get the output from the console into a file so i can post it to help you guys.
thanks
pete

Could you post what you get with 'make'?

Chances are that your next step after the screen has stopped filling with code is to do this:
type "su" (without the quotes) and hit enter
Type in the root password and hit enter
Type in "make install" (without the quotes) and hit enter.
