#1 Will Not Compile on Mandrake 8.0

[Anonymous]

I downloaded the .092 version to my home directory and
extracted it. Then following the install directions I enter
"make". I got the following output which includes several
error messages. I am new to compiling Linux drivers, so
any help would be appreciated.

make[1]: Entering directory

As you can see I ran it as my self, but I also tried it as
root and I got the same results.

Thanks for your help.

I believe the 0.92 version only works with linux kernel 2.4.x. I
read this in the forum written by the developer about 0.92
driver:

"Keep in mind, the current drivers will be 2.4 only versions
unless I get requests for a backport to the 2.2 kernel for
improvements as I add them in. "
