Re: [newbie] Make command....
A common problem I used to have is not being root when configuring. The configure script checks your system etc and if you are not root often it fails. Also alway read the INSTALL file which will tell you lots of useful information, what configure does etc. lol On Thu, 2002-11-14 at 01:13, Radosaw Krl wrote: Hello everyone , i don't understand where i have made a mistake , i want to use a new program , downloaded from internet , for example : game called pacman or something else , it is not an installation version all i have to do is give two simple commands in shell first - ./configure and than make when I give make command my shell respond me that no makefiles was found but it is impossible i saw them they are in the right directory what to do ?

as I remember it, in 7.0 unless you did the developer (as opposed to server or desktop/workstation) you might not have gotten all the packages. I believe you can upgrade from the cds.

[newbie] make command not found
Hi everyone, I just recently installed 7.1. I'm trying to install a program that requires me to run make make install but I'm told that the make command is not found. I think this might be because I couldn't insert the second cd, installation sources cd, during installation. My cdrom just wouldn't open!! What can I do about this now? I will obviously need this command and whatever else I'm missing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Oren _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
Re: [newbie] make command not found
For some silly reason Mandrake 8's installation doesn't install the packages needed for compiling. Go to rpmfind.net and look for a Mandrake package called make.

Re: [newbie] make command not found in Bash
When I try to execute the make command as normal user, I get an error message saying, that only root is allowed to run this command. Any user should be able to use make, not just root. Hi Kenny! You have to be root to run the make command... I'm trying to compile and install a new kernel, and when I go to the "make xconfig" command, Bash doesn't recognize make. Also, the command is not located in /bin. Do I need to update Bash? Any suggestions?

[newbie] make command recompiling kernel...
I have Yamaha YMF-724 PCI sound card. The only way to make that card work in linux is using OSS driver from Open Sound System. But i have a problem when I try to install that driver: 1. I have an error message during install about kernel incompatibility, and refer to OSS documentation, I must recompiling my kernel and enable "CONFIG_MODVERSIONS" using "make" command. But when I try to type that command, linux said that make comand is not available. And I was confuse too about how to enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in Mandrake. 2. Still from the OSS documentation, I must do the following step: rm /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h rm. bla... bla... bla... And I can't find the "/usr/src/linux" directory on my hardisk. Is there someone can help me why "make" command and "usr/src/linux" directory isn't available..??? or maybe I forget something in installation procedure...?? Thanks in advance. -- XE --
