I'm sorta new to Debian and i'm tryint to run an installer that requieres the make command. Yet it says it's not found... what do I need to download (apt-get install ...) to get the make command to work? It's to install the nvidia nforce drivers to get my sound working, thanks
-> Building kernel module:
executing: 'cd ./nvnet; make module SYSSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.7-1-386/build'..
.
sh: line 1: make: command not found
-> Error.
ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module.
ERROR: Installation of the network driver has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-nforce-installer.log' for details. You may find
suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on
the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
If you want I can post the entire log but I dont think it's necessary. Thanks
Woohoo thanks man, just had to run "apt-get install make" and it got it for me. Woulda never thought of that, the solutions sometimes are easier then they same, thanks alot!!!
