Hy! Today i decided to try out another OS so……bye bye WindowsXP
and……welcome Linux Red Hat 9.0 ! The instalation was ok....but when i
tried to make a connection to internet i've found that...there was NO
modem installed. The Red Hat 9.0 didn't recognize it......so i have to
manualy install it. In the readme.txt that was on the cd there are
some steps to install the modem....so there they are:

steps to install
1.login as ROOT
2.extract the archive into a directory
3.cd into the directory it created.
4.Type: make clean
5.Type: make 536ep
6.Type: make install-536ep

Steps 1 and 2.....OK

Step 3
[root@localhost root]# cd modem
[root@localhost modem]# cd Intel-536ep-425
[root@localhost Intel-536ep-425]#

Step 4
[root@localhost Intel-536ep-425]# make clean
cd coredrv; make clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/modem/Intel-536ep-425/coredrv'
rm -f *.o *~ core
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/modem/Intel-536ep-425/coredrv'
cd serialdrv; make clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/modem/Intel-536ep-425/serialdrv'
rm -f *.o *~ core
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/modem/Intel-536ep-425/serialdrv'
rm -f *.o
rm -f *.o
[root@localhost Intel-536ep-425]#

Step 5
[root@localhost Intel-536ep-425]# make 536ep
if [ -a /boot/vmlinuz.version.h ]; then \
cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/build/include/linux/ve
rsion.h; fi
cd coredrv; make \
"PSTN_DEF=-DTARGET_SELAH -DTARGET_LINUX -DLINUX" \
536ep;
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/modem/Intel-536ep-425/coredrv'
cc -DTARGET_SELAH -DTARGET_LINUX -DLINUX -Wall -O -I
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/bui
ld/include -I../inc -c -o coredrv.o coredrv.c
/bin/sh: line 1: cc: command not found
make[1]: *** [coredrv.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/modem/Intel-536ep-425/coredrv'
make: *** [536ep] Error 2
[root@localhost Intel-536ep-425]#
...and there are the questions....WHAT is wrong with STEP 5 ? What
Error 2 means?
What to do next?

Thanks !

Hmm. Most of the problems I had with my PCI modem turned out to be a
problem with the serial port IRQ. What happens if you run statserial
on the COM port for your modem?

If that gives you an error, try using setserial to find out what IRQ
Linux is expecting your modem to use, and set it to the correct value
if necessary.
