cannot install .tar file "fsaa1655g"

Hello,

you typed make first

you have to run

./configure

then

make

then

sudo make install

I am new to Ubuntu and using the command prompt. Could you give me step
by step instructions as to what you mean when you say run ./configure.
I have tried to type this in and get the following message:

bash: configure: command not found

Thanks

Hello Derryl,

at you must unpack the tarfile. The open a basch and change to the directory in which you
unpack your tar file (in the bash enter cd /home/yourname/yourfiledirectory). In this
directory enter ./configure. Follow the installation instructions (normal is to execute
make and the make install).

After unpacked the archive, you enter the directory and You have to execute three commands:

1) sudo ./configure
2) sudo make
3) sudo make install

After You write every of these commands, ubuntu will ask you for password - just enter the password you use to login.

I think I am doing the right thing. Ihave entered the commands as shown
below, but still get an error message,

When I type "sudo ./configure" I get the following message after I have
entered my password:

sudo: ./configure: command not found

Do I need to load another module?

Hello,

the configure file should be include in the package. But if your package is the wlan switch for the 2.4 / 2.6 kernel than you do not use ./configure if i remember correct you use only
1. make
2. make install
3. modprobe fsaa1655g

Problem solved. I had a look at

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=207428

For those with Ubuntu 7.04 there is no config.h on the kernel. In the file fsaa1655g.c you need to comment out the line with #include config.h by typing // so that the line reads:

//#include config.h

Once you have made this change and saved it, you can then proceed with the make and make install commands.

Hi there
When I try unzip a.tar file I got this message
eihab@eihab-desktop:~$ tar -zxvf fribidi-0.10.9.tar.gz
tar: fribidi-0.10.9.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Any ideas thanks

Hi!

I still have problem with this make, make install procedure!
I've made the changes in the "fsaa1655g.c" file ( //#include config.h ), but the message is the following:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-rt/build SUBDIRS=/home/palfilaszlo/wifi/fsaa1655g modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-rt/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [default] Error 2

How could I run make and make install?

(using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS)

Thanks!
