    ok, first off I should probably mention that I am very much a Linux newby so sorry if any of this is retarded.....

    I am trying to follow these instruction:

    1. Mandriva users need to install wvdial and make.
    2. Once you do that, go to this website:
    http://oozie.fm.interia.pl/pro/huawei-e220/
    3. Download huawei.tar.bz2,
    4. ... and from command line do the following:

    $ tar xjvf huawei.tar.bz2
    $ cd huawei
    $ su
    # make install_mandriva
    ... and follow GUI instructions.


    only problem is, the make command wont work. If I type 'man make' i get the make manual so I'm assuming make is installed. Anyone have any ideas?

    thanks,

    ball-ox

    Does it just do nothing or do a small bit and die ? You'll need ( from bottom of that page) these : make ,gcc , ncurses-devel , ncurses ,xterm installed first .

    The reason they don't put these in their by default is because most people won't need to compile anything and just use the pre-compiled programs. You'll often find when you go to compile things that you'll need a pile of other programs that you don't have and it's just a matter of going and getting them.
