First kernal module
 

Hi,
I try to build my own kernal module with simple init & cleanup functions.I create a make file.(both are taken from sample examples in internet).When i try to compile using 'make' command. The 'bash:command not found'error is displayed.
I dont know whether i missed any kernal package.
Help me to solve this issue.

The command : 'cat /etc/redhat-release' will show.

When its a "bash issue:", then its clear that the 'make' hasn't been installed yet

Why such an old version?
I would recommend atleast 8.04 LTS.

Sounds like you need to install make

In any case, try
