[15:03] <stevoste> Can someone help me with FC5. I've just upgraded from FC4 for a web server
[15:03] <stevoste> I'm trying to install Ndiswrapper but get the following....
[15:03] <stevoste> [ste@localhost ndiswrapper-1.16]$ make
[15:03] <stevoste> make -C driver
[15:03] <stevoste> make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ste/ndiswrapper-1.16/driver'
[15:03] <stevoste> Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build;
[15:03] <stevoste> give the path to kernel build directory with
[15:03] <stevoste> KBUILD=<path> argument to make
[15:03] <stevoste> make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1
[15:03] <stevoste> make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ste/ndiswrapper-1.16/driver'
[15:03] <stevoste> make: *** [all] Error 2
[15:03] <stevoste> Any ideas?
[15:05] * udpee is now known as Alan
[15:09] <passwds> stevoste: Try specifying your kernel build files path on make
[15:10] <passwds> ie: make KBUILD=<path>
[15:10] <stevoste> Do you know the defaults for FC5?
[15:11] <passwds> no
[15:12] <passwds> take a look around that area
[15:12] <stevoste> Am I looking for a "build" directory?
[15:12] <passwds> thats what it says
[15:12] <passwds> but honestly, never seen this before
[15:12] <passwds> sorry
[15:12] <stevoste> Thanx for a point in the right direction
[15:14] <passwds> do u have the kernel source installed?
[15:15] <stevoste> No. FC doesn't seem to provide it
[15:16] <stevoste> I might go back to FC4 either way. Apart from this problem it only seems t
[15:17] <passwds> I haven't tried FC5 at all
[15:17] <passwds> so aside from what I hear
[15:17] <passwds> I have no clue about it :)
[15:18] <stevoste> It's quite strange. They've removed "terminal" from right clicking on desk
[15:18] <stevoste> Are you a Fedora user?
[15:18] <passwds> no actually, haven't really played with it. just got a legacy rh install on
[15:19] <stevoste> I've never ventured into anything beyond Linux. I've still yet to explore
[15:20] <passwds> can'y you install your kernel source with yum or something
[15:20] <passwds> err can't
[15:22] <stevoste> I'll look into it. I'm be gratefull of this obstacle in a few weeks after
[15:24] <stevoste> I'm going anyway. Thanx for the help mate.
