I'm a new *nix user - I just installed Ubuntu 5.1. I followed the Ubuntu docs to install my wifi card. Apparently I need NdisWrapper, which I've downloaded and untarred - all set to install it. According to the NdisWrapper docs I need to compile NW using 'make'. But...I get "make: command not found" when I try to run it. I ran a 'find' on my filesystem and didn't find 'make' anywhere. I feel like an idiot - but am I missing something obvious? It doesn't seem fair that a brand-new Ubuntu install on a clean partition wouldn't contain 'make'. Help! Thanks for your time!
An update; I followed some instructions for newbie Linux users and installed java and gcc. Now 'make' works, but I get errors when trying to follow the NdisWrapper instructions. From the NW instructions - apparently I need to run the following three commands: - make distclean - make - make install 'makedistclean' worked fine, but the second 'make' returned errors - and I'm not sure why. NW doesn't have a support forum - do I need to install some other package to do this? The error from the second 'make': arachne@ubuntu:~/path/ndiswrapper-1.6$ make make -C driver make[1]: Entering directory `/path/ndiswrapper-1.6/driver' Can't find kernel sources in /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/build; give the path to kernel sources with KSRC=<path> argument to make make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/path/ndiswrapper-1.6/driver' make: *** [all] Error 2 Does anybody have some suggestions on how I can get this working?? Thanks!
Doh! Ubuntu-specific instructions on NW doc site Yikes. The NdisWrapper doc site has some Ubuntu-specific instructions. I think these will take care of my questions; sorry for wasting your time.
I also had this problem (along with another I cannot remember now) with the Ubuntu Breezy ISP settup. Just to save people the time of reading though a wiki to find what they need what solved it for me was to , well install make. If you followed the instructions and BECAME root earlier: apt-get update apt-get install make if not you must become a superuser and do it (sudo): sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install Hope this helps some people.
hello, i try to install something in ubuntu but than it says when i type the command make install: cannot find command than i type: sudo apt-get install make it asks to the cd with the label: 'Ubutnu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)' where can i find and download this cd? thanks
Would you mind downloading from the intenret? I mean you will need that anyway to keep your system up to date via apt-get / aptitude. So check your /etc/apt/sources.list and comment all lines out via # having no http or ftp in front. On my servers sources.list look like that: But take this just as an example because I don't know which stuff behind the URLs resides when using any debian based linux like ubuntu.
i dont mind downloading it from the internet. but as linux is still a bit abra kadabra for me and i dont know exactly how to work with the command line. when i go to the source list i get this: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)]/ breezy main restricted ## Uncomment the following two lines to fetch updated software from the network # deb-src http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted ## Uncomment the following two lines to fetch major bug fix updates produced ## after the final release of the distribution. deb http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted # deb-src http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted ## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe' ## repository. ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu ## team, and may not be under a free licence.

then comment out the cdromline with # an add that: deb http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted
Make /etc/apt/sources.list look like on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_5.10_p3 and run Code: apt-get update afterwards. Then run Code: apt-get install make Of course, you must do all this as root.
