Need help with 'make'Forum: Other Help Topics Topic: Need help with 'make' started by: be1 Posted by be1 on June 25 2006,18:11
My Goal: Install Nvidia nForce motherboard driver to get onboard Ethernet workingI need to use 'make' to compile the driver except I get the following error bash: make: command not found I googled the error and found I needed to download/install GNU Make. After using './configure' to compile it, I get the following error configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH I googled that error and found different solutions A) download GCC B) DSL already has 'gcc' and 'make' they are in a package included with it. What should I do? I'm rather new to Linux, so if you could please explain in detail what I need to do, I'd appreciate it! Posted by kerry on June 25 2006,19:45

Ah, alright. Would Debian be more suitable?

Try Xubuntu or Ubuntu. I use Xubuntu cause i like xfce4 desktop. It's based on debian but is way more stable to me. I always had problems with things breaking in straight debian.

you can try the new gcc1-with-libs.dsl.having said that, there is a problem with nforce boards with dsl. the graphics vesa driver and built-in lan do not like each other. i would first try install Xfree86.dsl. have you tried using an external pci network card? |
