Compiling WirelessAssistant
 

Hello all! I'm trying to compile WirelessAssistant in Suse 10.0 (as there are no native RPMs for this version) and am running into some difficulties. I run ./configure and everything is fine.And when I run "make" everything seems fine as well. But when I issue the command "install" it says the it can't be found. I'm trying to install if from a folder within my home folder. Is there a special place I should compile apps at?

are you entering install or make install? use make install, just making sure, not calling you stupid or anything.

Well I did "make install" and this is the outpot I got:

I went to the src directory and tried to open the assistant, and it said I had insufficient privileges.When I try to connect to a particular network it always fails to connect.

have you tried it as root? running the wireless assistant, i'm a newb too but i don't see any errors on the make install?
