I mounted the source CD-ROM and changed to the following directory:
cd /cdrom/Redhat/RPMS
I then did the following:
rpm -i kernel-headers-2.2.5-15.i386.rpm
rpm -i kernel-source-2.2.5-15.i386.rpm
( I needed to install the headers package first )
I then tried make config, make menuconfig and make xconfig, to which I got
the following message -- without brackets: [bash: make: command not found]
Advised I would need kernel development rpms loaded, and the
compiler, I saw rpms in the /cdrom/RedHat/RPMS directory that appeared
relelvant--because they seemed to be kernel-i386-something or other, so I
installed those packages as well (...what was I thinking?)
The files I unpacked and their [subsequent messages] were:
MAKEDEV-2.5-1.noarch.rpm [package MAKEDEV-2.5-1.noarch.rpm is already
installed]
kernel-BOOT-2.2.5-15.i386.rpm [no complaint]
kernel-smp-2.2.5-15.i386.rpm [no complaint]
Pleased with trying to install these packages and not getting major
complaints, I tried the 3 makes again, but the same message still haunts me:
bash: make: command not found
I did notice that my /usr/src/linux-2.2.15 directory had contents with today's
date, and I'm sure I had all the same stuff there before, with a previous
date. So whatever I've done today so far, I had probably done before.
It kind of bothers me though, that I don't have a directory for
/usr/src/linux -- just the
link.
I don't suppose I'm trying to run the bash command 'make' from the wrong
directory. My bash file is in /bin so that should not make a
difference. Still, there seems to be trouble with bash, doesn't there?
Does anyone have an idea about where to go from here?
