Alright, I have a Turtle beach Montego II card, so I try to use "make install20", but it gives this:

[root@localhost aureal]# make install20

oh, and yes, I am a newbie at linux

Thanks

Anyone? I need help ASAP!

Come on people, doesn't ANYONE KNOW!?

Do you have your kernel source installed?

Using Linux Mandrake PowerPack 8.1, so if it doesn't install it during install then no...

On linuxnewbie.org, some guy was helping me but he hasn't replied back again, I can point you to the thread though, so see if you can figure out how to fix the error dependency ^_^

Thanks for the help!

Install all the kernel src and header rpm's that match the kernel reported by "uname -a" plus any dependcies required, you will find them on the drake cd's, then try compiling the driver again.

ok, this has nothing to do with the post I replied to, but I'm a newbie here to this site and linux in general(installing Mandrake 8.1 on my "junk" computer as I speak), but every time I go to post a new thread, i get this error:

Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/linuxquestions/questions/newthread.php on line 323

So I have no clue how I'm supposed to post. My question is, and sorry to the originator of this post to change it, why does linux(i've tried red hat 7.2, 7.1, 7.0, and Mandrake 8.1) run sooooooo slow on my laptop(I know it's old...a Dell Latitude cp w/64mb ram and a p233mmx)? I figured it'd run a little slow on it, but it runs ungodly slow on there. Is my laptop just not good enough for linux? I have winME on there right now which is by far the worst windows ever, not to mention the slowest, and it's a little slow but not bad at all. I want Linux on there soooooooooooo bad but just can't get it working at a decent speed. Would a much older version of linux work on it do you guys think? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Aussie, I already tried that, or else I'm not seeing what you are saying, here is the error[this is copied from the other forum]

[heg@localhost heg]$ cd ~
[heg@localhost heg]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost heg]# rpm -e kernel-headers
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
kernel-headers is needed by glibc-devel-2.2.4-6mdk
kernel-headers >= 2.2.1 is needed by glibc-devel-2.2.4-6mdk
[root@localhost heg]# rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS2/kernel-source-2.4.8-26mdk.i586.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
ncurses-devel is needed by kernel-source-2.4.8-26mdk
[root@localhost heg]#


So how do I get past that? :/

Don't remove the kernel headers, you need them.
Install the ncurses-devel rpm and then try the kernel src rpm again, install every dependant rpm it needs.
