A friend of mine has a very old computer running 98 that was not working. I wiped it off and installed mandrake 9.2 and it works great now. I've set it up so that he can do everything he could under windows and so far it's working out great! EXCEPT I can't seem to get his mp3 player set up. Maybe you can help.
Here is the progam i'm using, MPIO Project.
http://mpio.sourceforge.net/install.html#Installation
The instructions say this for rpm install:
rpmbuild --rebuild mpio-0.6.0.src.rpm
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/mpio-0.6.0-1.i386.rpm
modprobe mpio
Here is what I get when i do rpm build: (sorry for the long paste) I'm asking about the rpm install.. i've tried compling the binaries and i get the same thing. I fixed the readline problem by installing the packages, but this is more than a simple package i think.
Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.13845
+ umask 022
+ cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD
+ cd mpio-0.7.0
+ make

I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm not sure if my usb is loaded. here are some entries from lsmod that says what i have loaded.

maybe something isn't in the right path.
any help would be awesome if for no other reason than we've got one more person who won't be in windows spreading viruses. Thank you guys.
