Hy!
Today i decided to try out another OS so……bye bye WindowsXP and……welcome Linux Red Hat 9.0 ! The instalation was ok....but when i tried to make a connection to internet i've found that...there was NO modem installed. The Red Hat 9.0 didn't recognize it......so i have to manualy install it. In the readme.txt that was on the cd i have found some steps to install the modem....so there they are:

“ steps to install
1.login as ROOT
2.extract the archive into a directory
3.cd into the directory it created.
4.Type: make clean
5.Type: make 536ep
6.Type: make install-536ep

Steps 1 and 2.....OK

Step 3
[root@localhost root]# cd modem
[root@localhost modem]# cd Intel-536ep-425
[root@localhost Intel-536ep-425]#

Step 4
[root@localhost Intel-536ep-425]# make clean
cd coredrv; make clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/modem/Intel-536ep-425/coredrv'
rm -f *.o *~ core
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/modem/Intel-536ep-425/coredrv'
cd serialdrv; make clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/modem/Intel-536ep-425/serialdrv'
rm -f *.o *~ core
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/modem/Intel-536ep-425/serialdrv'
rm -f *.o
rm -f *.o
[root@localhost Intel-536ep-425]#

Step 5
[root@localhost Intel-536ep-425]# make 536ep
if [ -a /boot/vmlinuz.version.h ]; then \
cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/ve
rsion.h; fi
cd coredrv; make \
"PSTN_DEF=-DTARGET_SELAH -DTARGET_LINUX -DLINUX" \
536ep;
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/modem/Intel-536ep-425/coredrv'
cc -DTARGET_SELAH -DTARGET_LINUX -DLINUX -Wall -O -I /lib/modules/`uname -r`/bui
ld/include -I../inc -c -o coredrv.o coredrv.c
/bin/sh: line 1: cc: command not found
make[1]: *** [coredrv.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/modem/Intel-536ep-425/coredrv'
make: *** [536ep] Error 2
[root@localhost Intel-536ep-425]#

...and there is the question....WHAT is wrong with STEP 5 ? What Error 2 means?
What to do next?

Thanks !

/bin/sh: line 1: cc: command not found

install gcc
if you already have it installed type (as root ) ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc
post back how you get on

Hy!
I did (ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc ) and this is the message that i receive:

[root@localhost root]#
[root@localhost root]# ln -s /usr/bin/gcc usr/bin/cc
ln: creating symbolic link `usr/bin/cc' to `/usr/bin/gcc': No such file or directory

What to do next?
Thanks!

are the development tools installed?
look in redhat-config-packages

Hy!
Thank you, randomblast for your help.....indeed, u were wright! Installing all the development tools did resolve a problem but.....u know one problem less, two problems more! See if u can understand something from this..........

....i really don't know what to do next....is something wrong with the driver ?.....bye!

try
"$ make clean"
"$ make distclean"
"$ ./configure"
"$ make"

or even better
"$ cd ~"
"$ rm -rf intel-536ep-425"
"$ tar -zxvf intel-536ep-425.tar.gz" (or whatever the tarball is named)
"$ cd intel-536ep-425"
"$ ./configure"
"$ make"

....and where do i type them ?........

Is kernel-source installed? Do you have a symbolic link /usr/src/linux that points to your /usr/src/linux-<version number here>?

# Compiling/installing kernel modules
You will need to have installed:
1. The developmental packages (compiler)
2. The kernel-source code that matches your running kernel
3. The module source or install code

Check out your system and look under the hood and see if you installed the stuff you need to do the job. Open an x terminal and type in this sequence of commands to see what kernel we are running and see if you have the kernel source installed:I am running kernel version 2.4.18-3. Do I have the proper source code?I do have the same kernel version source code installed in the directory /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3 and there is a symbolic link named linux-2.4 pointing to it.

If you don't see something similiar to this (but in color), you will need to install the kernel source.

NOTE: I noticed that Red Hat didn't make the symbolic link /usr/src/linux that all of the INSTALL files that I have read mentioned that I need, so I may as well make one now to save editing the files in the source code to install.So, I'll make it just now:Ah, there it is, so that's done.

Next, did I install the compiler?Yes, I have a compiler installed.

If you don't have those two things installed, you have to install them first off your install CD.

If they are installed, download the source and happy comiling. Make sure you carefully read the README and INSTALL files after extracting and before compiling/installing.

I think that i have the kernel version source code like the kernel that i use, and I have for sure, the compiler installed (thanks to randomblast)…….
….so i tried again….

[root@localhost modem]#
…..the problem is still there….and if that was not enough, i found that my printer (cannon i320) doesn’t work under Linux….there are no driver for her…but, (there is always a but ), I found that there is a program….turboprint that has driver for my printer…and it cost ~30$.......only that is another problem…first I want to use the modem and then I’l search for drivers on the Net……..

…and another thing….(this is for randomblast)…
U have send me some commands…..
”$ make clean”
“$ make distclean”
“$ ./configure”
………etc
I know it’s sounds silly but…..where do I type them?(in what folder)…and…do I have to type the commands with the “$” sign?......when i type them, this are the messages that i get :
[root@localhost root]# $ make clean
bash: $: command not found
[root@localhost root]# cd modem
[root@localhost modem]# $ make clean
bash: $: command not found
[root@localhost modem]#

..when i type them without the “$” sign this is the message that i get at the second command:
[root@localhost intel-536ep-425]# make distclean
make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'. Stop.
[root@localhost intel-536ep-425]#

...and i get further....
[root@localhost intel-536ep-425]# ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[root@localhost intel-536ep-425]#

..what to do next...???
I really don’t want to use Windows for internet……but i have no choice……..please help me!

no no no no no no no....no
and a very resounding no
the $ is just to show that you run them as a normal user, and you should run them in the directory that the driver source is in.
or just remove the directory and untar the tarball again so that you have a completely clean source tree.
and it sounds like you need to untar it again because
"[root@localhost intel-536ep-425]# ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory"

means that there is nothing there ???

Also note that there appears to be a newer version available 462, i havent tried it yet myself
still using 451, it may pay for you to update it ?

http://developer.intel.com/design/mo...rt/drivers.htm

Hi!
I have dissapear because i have waited for the driver 'Intel536ep-462-R90.tgz' on the Intel site to become available....and when it did become available i have downloaded and install it....the installation was ok (so i think the driver was the problem)..so far so good...i use kppp to configure it...
the ISP account
modem:dev/modem
flow:software
line:cr/lf
connection:57600
the query was ok(can a modem reply if the drivers are no good?)...all was ok...until i've made the connection...i have 2 accounts:
1 Free Dial Up
2 Some paid account also on Dial Up

The Free Dial Up make the connection....but when i try to view a web page i get the message:"The operation timed out when attempting to contact www.yahoo.com"...and this is the message that i get every time i try to open any web page.....

The second account doesn't even connect.....ant this is the paid account!!
(In Windows the second account works perfectly)...
What settings i have miss ?
(btw, my phone line is analog)
Thanks!

I bought an external modem called "Best Data" Model 56SX92 it's a V. 92/V. 44 modem and it works great with Redhat 9.1 all I did was install the serial cable to the back of the computer; connect my phone line to the external modem and BANG! DONE.

Next step I went into internet connection wizard setup my incoming port and my outgoing port and I was done.

Linux does not like Winmodems as you have probably found out by now.
