alert!!!!
I've searched hi and low but haven't found any help. Hopefully someone here can lead me to the righteous path of enlightenment.
I'm trying to install some drivers, the INSTALL says to "do the usual make/make install/ configure'. Well when I try any of them I get errors and can go no further.
Quote:
$ make
./configure
loading cache ./config.cache

I get this same type of error when I try to install other items too. I've read that people say you need to install the rpm, etc. Ok fine, how? Where? I even read that I need to find out what rpm's I have installed. Fine, how? lol I tried running urpmi at the console and it says 'command no found' so I'm obviously not doing it right. Im really really really new, so I ask that you don't tell me just what to do, but also how to do it.
Please help this rookie. I'm not asking for a fish, I'm asking to be taught how to fish. Thank you very much.
