Makefile.inc:89: *** /lib/modules/2.6.17.13/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH. Stop

i was trying to install the drivers for my atheros card on my slackware 11.0 partition and i get this error. when i try the "make" command i get that error. Anyone seen this before?

Yup, it means you don't have the kernel source installed or linked properly. Install it and make sure it does the following:

Code:

/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/source
/usr/src/linux-`uname -r`
/usr/src/linux

So depending on how the script is made it may or may not find the kernel source. It's probably best to have the source symlinked from one of the above to all the others (usually kernel source is in '/usr/src/linux-`uname -r`' and symlinked to the other places)
