Re: [Staffslug] Possible LUG meet speakers?
ok it seems that the sources aren't at /usr/src/linux try cd /usr/src/
and ls in there, if nothing is in there then you're going to have to
download ("update" i assume in mandrake's package manager) the source
for the most recent kernel. GCC is probable installed but a different
version than required, i've scan read these emails so forgive me if
i'm not paying great attention to detail - BT messed my lines up at
the beginning of the week and i've only *JUST* got them back. So i'll
make a more detailed input later.

That's what I mean about the command line being better :-)
Ok, I thought this might happen as I hinted. It looks like it is
asking you to install the kernel sources. The make seems to need to
be able to access these. So, I would look at installing from the
CD/DVD set as I mentioned previously.
