LinModem install issue...

[Dfyant]

Hi again!

I have another question.


I am trying to setup my winmodem (or linmodem) which is a Lucent chipset. I have detected the chip and installed the package for my kernel version (2.4.20_ but still can't get it to be detected by the system.

When detecting the modem chipset there are 2 lines that confuse me.
One is gcc: no
and cc: no

(If I recall correctly). I also installed the i686 rpm instead of the i386 rpm.
Does this make much of a difference?
When I try to install the i386 rpm I get an "already installed" message but can't find out where to remove the i686.

Does anyone know how I can resolve this as I wouldn't mind some internet at home!
also, what is gcc?

Thanks!

Chris

I believe
cc = C Compiler
gcc = Gnu C Compiler.

If you get 'no' on both, you definitely need a C Compiler of some sort. It should be on your install cd's.
The other stuff I'm not sure about....

I need that to install an RPM?

Sorry, I was thinking .tar.gz
I can't say for sure whether you need a cc to install an rpm.
But if you have the cd's might as well give it a try....
Regardless, I figure someone who really knows this stuff will come along soon

Thanks Darl!
