error: kernel-sources cannot be found!



[root@localhost eagle-usb-2.3.2]#


so i can not follow with the make command...


plz help me to overcome that pblm and thank u.

so you need to install the kernel sources. use your graphical package manager (RPMDrake?) check out this link for help with your version of Mandrake.
after selecting 'install' with the tool, youll be looking for something that looks like 'kernel-source', and install that.

how can i get the kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-10mdk.rpm

i do not have the CD rpms.
thank u

download it from the link i sent?
since your on a computer with internet right now you can download it. i think its 40mb+, so burn it to a RW or on a USB memory stick.

i download it ,thnx

so there will be no pblm if i install it.
because the one u gave me kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-12mdk.i586.rpm.

and my linux kernel is kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-10mdk.

look for '...10mdk' instead then, i wasnt even looking at the full name. if you cant find it with your package manager then look on google.com

that's the pblm
i tryed with google days and neight i did not found.
i tried with limewire the same thing. plz if u know an other link

link me and thnx

adilturbo, please don't start multiple threads about the same problem. It also helps if you use more informative thread titles.

i'm so sorry for that friends

hi again.

so i intalled the kernel-source2.6.8.1-12mdk without any pblm

i configured my lilo every thing is all right ,now i can select which

kernel i want to boot with(i mean the old & the new one).

then when installing the eagle-usb for my sagem fast800 modem:

i got some thing like this at the end
i countinued with the make command every thing was ok.
then run the eagleconfig command i get a message at first time like
and the prog continued i entered the informations gaven by the
the provider i got again the same message:then when i rane the startadsl command i got a message so should i install dhcp support and the pppd support
or only the pppd support?

use DHCP if your ISP requires it, most likely not, or if your computer is on a home LAN with a router which uses DHCP.

FINALLY i set up my connction.

i installed the libpcap0-0.8.3-2mdk.i586.rpm package and

the ppp-2.4.2-8mdk.i586.rpm package then eagleconfig command

run the startadsl so my system connected.

i pinged google there was response.

that last message is written from linux.

thank u alll

ok good work

and thanks for posting the solution so others can read it if they are having a similar problem.
