I am trying to install the Intel 537 modem (My OS is Mandrake 9.2)
I've already downloaded the .tgz file from Intel web page. The readme.txt saids:
"steps to install
1. login as ROOT
2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar -zxvf <archivename>.tgz"
3. cd into the directory it created.
4. Type: make clean
5. Type: make all
6. Type: make install
steps 1 to 3 ... OK
step 4:
[root@localhost mod]# make clean
cd coredrv; make clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/mod/coredrv'
rm -f *.o *~ core
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mod/coredrv'
cd serialdrv; make clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/mod/serialdrv'
rm -f *.o *~ core
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mod/serialdrv'
rm -f *.o
rm -f *.o
..... OK (I suppose)
step5:
[root@localhost mod]# make all
usage: make [clean] or [537] or [install] or [check] or [config_sync] or [uninstall]
...... (I'don't know)
step6:
[root@localhost mod]# make install
bash 537_inst
running kernel 2.4.22-10mdk
installing hamregistry, used for persistant storage
installing usrsound, a soft buzzer
installing ham module
install: no se puede efectuar `stat' sobre `537.o': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
[root@localhost mod]#
.... What's going on?
Please help me, i'don't want to use my modem only in windows so, what can I do?
You are somewhat at the mercy of the person who created the tarball and he seems to have made some sort of mistake. I would try substituting a plain make command for the make all command:
make clean
make
make install
If that does not work then you might email the developer for some advice on what to do.
[root@localhost mod]# make 537

cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/version.h; fi

… What’s going on here? What’s these "cc"? How can I solve it?

"the result of tiping "make " it's the same as tiping "make all" ...
help please !=[]"
I think that the .tgz file is buggy. I suggest that you look in the .tgz documentation and find the email address of the developer. Contact the developer and see what they have to say about the problem.
You are rigth, but i think that the problem is in this piece of code and i think that the problem is my machine too. Look the <===, cc: comand not found. Maybe i haven't the cc (What the hell is the cc?). I don't know... Anyway thanks a lot for the time you spend on me..,.
