Fedora Core 5 wont compile

impulse() · 05-15-2006, 05:08 PM

I've just installed FC5 and have come to install NDiswrapper and I get the following.

[ste@localhost ndiswrapper-1.16]$ make
make -C driver
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ste/ndiswrapper-1.16/driver'
Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build;
give the path to kernel build directory with
KBUILD=<path> argument to make
make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ste/ndiswrapper-1.16/driver'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any ideas?

Thanx in advance

Check this post out to why it will not compile. Reason is you have no kernel-devel*.rpm installed that matches the kernel version 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5. Best bet is to get the precompiled ndiswrapper from atrpms and match it to kernel version.

This hasn't solved the problem. I did a complete update and then 'yum install kernel-dev' but I get the same error message.
Any more ideas?
