ubuntu-users Digest, Vol 6, Issue 212

[Panos]

Hi. took me a while to reply. I'm having compilation script problems 
with the latest drivers. They were looking in the wrong directory for 
the makefiles. i had to create the folder the makefile was looking for 
and copy the header files there. after that i complained about not 
finding rules for building modules. i tried pointing it to boot where 
the kernel configuration file is but it didn.t seem to find anything. 
apparetly it was looking for the kernel Makefile. i installed the full 
source code untared it and pointed the makefile to the  linux-source 
dir. it found the makefile but then gave a long list of errors. If you 
could tell me which version of the drivers you used that comiled fine 
that might help me
