Hello all,

I installed gcc earlier so that I could compile new modules for my LNE100TX NIC. When I ran make it gave me an error saying:

"make: *** (filename) error 1

When I tried to force it past the error every file was not created. What is going on here? Did I not install gcc correct? Am I missing something? HELP!!

you probably installed the wrong tulip-driver.

What's your distro?

I am running RH 7.0
The Tulip driver would keep the source from compiling? I am a newbie to Linux...Will you explain?

I don'tknow how you installed gcc in your RH-7, but I know that RH-7 shipped with a beta GCC.

Fwiw, you don't have to compile the tulip-driver from source. Chances are, your RH-7 already has the correct required module (tulip). Try the linuxconf or netconf or kudzu utility to auto-detect your nic.

I will go try that right now. I installed gcc off the CD from the /Redhat/RPMS folder. You mentioned that under RH7 gcc was only beta. I'll tell you what the outcome is in a few...

Thanks,
