USB touchscreen on IBM thin client 2200

[soapwater]

Hi, I'm new here. After switching over to linux on my desktop PC (ubuntu) I would like te learn more about linux.

I'm trying to get an ELO touchscreen working on an IBM thin client. At the moment I managed to boot it from a CF card.(normally it boots kernel.2200 from a host PC but to avoid interference with the operating system, a flight simulator, I want to try it first with the system booted from a flash card)
I tried to install the 32 bit Linux driver from the ELO-website but did not succeed.
I was following the manual.
I managed to extract the files and copied them to the right directory but when I type in "make" the command is not recognised.
I don't know if it would ever work, but when I tried "make" on my Ubuntu machine I get error #2?! What does that mean.
Could anyone with some expierience on this give me any hints/advise/explenation on how to make this work?

Thanks

If the 'make' command doesn't work, then you don't have the development tools (gcc, gdb, make/gmake, et al) installed. Since you are running ubuntu, you need to install the tools either with the Synaptic package manager, or with the terminal command "sudo apt-get install build-essential"

I'm running Linux2200 on it, not Ubuntu.
But, howto install GCC than? There doesn't seem to be an application for installing additional package, so how do I get it on there?

I made the assumption you were using Ubuntu to do this because you said

I am not familiar with Linux2200. In any case, if you are trying to build a kernel for another platform, you not only need the development tools (gcc, gdb, make/gmake, etc) on the host machine where you are building the kernel, but also the associated libraries and such for the target platform.
