I recently downloaded the appropriate corresponding drivers to try and get my soundcard/winmodem/game controller combo card working and when i tried to install the driver in rpm format, it gmessage told me the rpm file had bad signatures so i went ahead and installed it as it offered. i went into ripconfig after that and got this message:

This package does not contain pre-built modules suitable for your system:
Distribution: Mandrake-10.0
Kernel arch: i686
Kernel version: linux-2.6.3-7mdk

Trying to automatically re-compile the modules..
(this requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be installed)

Where is the linux source build directory that matches your running kernel?
[/lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdk/build]


----then i put in where it is and got this message:

WARNING: missing file /lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdk/build/include/linux/modversions.h
The cause of this problem is usually a missing or misconfigured
kernel source tree (and sometimes an incorrect directory or symbolic link).

First, ensure that the proper kernel source and compiler packages
from your distribution vendor and/or the community are installed.

The Linux kernel can then be reconfigured by running "make menuconfig"
under the kernel source directory (usually /usr/src/linux).

Verify that the proper options for your system are selected,
and that CONFIG_SMP ("Symmetric multi-processing support" under
"Processor type and features") is disabled, as this driver is
presently designed to work on single-processor machines.

Then compile and install your new kernel (for more information about
this procedure, see the README file under the kernel source directory),
reboot the system using the new kernel, and re-run "ripconfig".


If I'm not mistaken, it is more than likely that the missing file is available under the rpm package installer. I'm lost I don't know what commands to use to do as above stated. I've already tried as suggested but it's a no go. Sorry for all the trouble.
