smarlink modem under Linux kernel 2.6.9-1.667

I used scanModem to figure out the drivers requierd and used
slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar
After the make install command I am getting

[root@localhost ungrab-winmodem-20070505]# modprobe ungrab-winmodem
bash: modprobe: command not found
Error....WHats the reason

The terminal listing is --------------------------------

Odd, sounds like modprobe is not in your env Path.
Try:
Code:
# whereis modprobe
Check your ENV:
Code:
# env | grep -i ^path
Try running modprobe with the full path.
