    Wow, this thread had some nice info on getting started with mandrivia..
    how about renaming the thread something related to mandrivia as some new comers might find this info useful ?

    Ok, now there's no 'command not found' but there's different problem. When I try to compile something, I get:
    Cannot find kernel version in /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv/build, is it configured?
    How to solve this problem? Regards

    what about gmake? do you have it? if so, just create a link to it in /usr/bin or whatever and name it make.

    There's no such thing in my repository (DVD). What's gmake, btw?

    What program? Seems you are trying to compile something related to the kernel, because the procedure complains about missing the kernel sources.

    Mandriva's make is GNU Make (gmake), so no tricks are needed.

    $ ls -l `which gmake`
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-10-05 12:21 /usr/bin/gmake -> make*

    If you want ndiswrapper you obviously need the kernel sources, at least the stripped version. But why not simply install ndiswrapper instead of compiling it? "urpmi ndiswrapper" should do the trick. If it's not on the DVD, you should probably configure some network package source containing non-free software. Visiting http://easyurpmi.zarb.org might be a good thing to do either way.

    Don't download from kernel.org. Install the kernel-source or kernel-source-stripped package using your distro's package manager (rpmdrake/urpmi). I'd recommend installing ndiswrapper using urpmi though. It should be on your dvd.
