Hi. I am completely new to Ubuntu so if someone can help me with the following issue, please do so in the simplest possible manner! I am trying to install Matrox drivers for my graphics card and there seems to be a compilation code error.
Operating System - Ubuntu 8.10
Graphics card - Matrox Parhelia 128Mb
Single Monitor display
When I run, as root, the installation file provided by Matrox on their website (filename = mtxdriver-installer-x86_32-1.4.6.run) I get the following error message:
========================================
Matrox Linux Driver Install Script
========================================
Installation package v1.4.6.1

Installed mtx_drv.so is the same file as the installer
version, not installing.
Installed v4l_drv.so is the same file as the installer
version, not installing.
Messages are being logged in file /tmp/make.log,
this might take some time.

I don't understand what the output of /tmp/make.log means but here it is nevertheless:
