> gcc: command not found

evidently you haven't installed the c compiler.
if you are using debian "apt-get install gcc"
other distributions, other ways

I was found same problem in RHEL 5 (Tikanga)....


Error came kernel module directory
check the following symlink directory is present or not ? in /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5

1) source
2) build

both are link to /usr/scr/kernel/2.6.18-8.el5-i6386

if your modules dont have above directory , it wont run any Make command properly


( i reinstall my Tikanga for above directory and then r8101 installed properly)
