RuudJacobs.NET Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I have a Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 3B wlan card in my Acer Travelmate 660. It works fine with windows... In linux it won't work. A friend advised me to use ndiswrapper to shell the windows drivers. How do I do this or is there an other way? I can't compile the drivers myself since I can't get the 'make' command working. I tried to activate the wlan card manually, by typing 'iwconfig eth1 power on' in console. However, it said something like 'can't execute 'SET'' (or 'GET') How do I get this thing working properly (with or without ndiswrapper)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichotin Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Do you even have gcc installed? If gcc is missing, no wonder make wont work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuudJacobs.NET Posted October 9, 2004 Author Share Posted October 9, 2004 (edited) no I can't install GCC either... can you give me the direct URL of a GCC-binary which is 100% sure to work on SuSE 9.1 or can you tell me how to install it? I've been trying to install that for about 3 weeks now.... I downloaded a SuSE rpm, and tried to install it with YaST-> didn't work... Then I tried to install it with Konsole (rpm -i [packagename] ) but that didn't work either :ninja: What should I do? edit: I'm updating linux right now, so there might be something usefull... edit2: I do have the manpages for 'make' so I don't know whats wrong Edited October 9, 2004 by ruudjacobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuudJacobs.NET Posted October 9, 2004 Author Share Posted October 9, 2004 I downloaded the source of GCC and when executing ./configure this error occurred: linux:/home/ruudjacobs/Documents/gcc-3.4.2 # ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c ./configure: line 2332: cc: command not found *** The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed. *** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler. I don't know what to do next... can anyone please help me out on this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichotin Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Compiling gcc without gcc, that wont go down well :p ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1/suse/i586/ Get the gcc rpm from there. edit: might be a good idea to install all of the gcc rpms.
