I'm pretty new to Linux... and it's not that working in the shell is hard for me, it's just I don't know what some babbling error messages mean, not knowing much about the kernels. I got the following message when trying to compile the driver for my MA101 USB device on Mandrake 9.1.

Now, to be frank, I haven't the slightest what any of that means. If anyone could possibly translate to me, and tell me what I'm doing wrong/haven't installed, I'd be quite appreciative.
