Re: Aureal Drivers, Make command

Hi...

For starters thanks for pointing me to some drivers for my Storm VX

OK I just did a "which make" on my RH 6.1 and it came up with
/usr/bin/make

I have installed the drivers and all is working well, in fact I am
listening to a CD as we speak

As you are a newbie, I'll say this, you MUST be root to do a "make
install". I think you'll find that this will solve all your problems

If you have any more problems I'll be happy to help...

Regards

Damien
