Excellent. See up there where it says:

> make: cc:command not found

When you don't know what you're doing it's hard to see the things you need
(it took me ages to get used to finding what I needed). What's happenig is
the 'make' command (which does exist in your system) is telling you it can't
find the 'cc' command. Everything makes a lot more sence when you know the
first part (in this case the 'make:') is actually the program running. :)

Anyawy, I beleive cc is part of egcs (or gcc, depending what version you
use), so if you use redhat, install the egcs, cpp and glibc-devel rpms, and
things should work (i think).

Good luck,
Andy

PS. You don't need to do a 'make' or 'make all'. The 'make install' compiles
the driver as well as install it. Most software has compiling and installing
as seperate procedures.
