TAR error

[c3p0-11n]

Tring to work on sound card Vortex2. Ran tar -xzvf au88xx-1.1.2.tar.gz

Got error message:
h:1:2: #error Modules should never use kernel-headers system header
h:2:2: #error but headers from an appropriate kernel-source make: ***[au_audio.o] error 1

Can this be fixed?

[SpookyEddy]

Install "kernel-source" rpm first, then install the drivers.

[c3p0-11n]

error: failed dependencies

ncrses-devel is needed
egcs is needed
egcs-cpp is needed
flex is needed
db3-devel is needed
bison is needed
byacc is needed

Are these rpm's?

[SpookyEddy]

Yes these are rpms, all of them are on CD1 of Mandrake 8.

To install use "Software Manager" in X/KDE or from command line:

cd /mnt/cdrom
rpm -ivh "full package name"

Almost sorted, not far now http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Good luck.

The "ncurses-devel" rpm is:

"libncurses5-devel-5.2-12mdk"

I would recommend again using the "Software Manager" app in KDE, it will make this easier if you are new to all this.

Hi eddy

software manager showes libncurses5 as being installed.

the rpm
ncruses-devel is dependent on
ncruses-ext which is dependent on
libtinfo.so.5 which is supposed to be in
ncrises-5.2-12mdk already installed.
I tried a rebuilddb of ncruses-5.1-12mdk but that did not fix the missing libtinfo.so.5.

I would think that rebuilddb would work but maybe I must remove it and replace it new. a surch at rpmfind for libtinfo.so.5 found a old version of ncruses which the already installed version did not like.
