Re: LT WinModem and kernel headers

Deven,
You hit the nail on the head there... If Paul would
go to linmodems.org and look around there he would
probably find a .deb for his version of kernel and
then he wouldn't need the headers.

I think we are all very close. I have done my best at all places that
linmodems.org leads to which is the path that lead me to ltmodem-5.99b.
As much as I have decoded from the included scripts leads me to believe
that the install will work if I can get the kernel headers installed on
my machine that match my kernel.
My kernel seems to be 2.2.19pre17 as reported by uname.
The only files I have found so far - I used dpkg on my system and just
went to ftp.debian.org are:
kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17-compact and kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17-idepci.
The install script thinks that it wants:
kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17
This is determined by a very long configure script called from the
install script. I have found the place in that configure script where
the mismatch is declared but have not yet figured how that script
determines that.
I am offered an option to override the kernel header name but that
parameter seems to need to be edited into the install script.
It's either that or understanding what the kernel header names above mean.
I have just D/L'd the documentation for my kernel from ftp.debian.org
and will read that. I believe that documentation is already on my
system but I am still learning where to find some things.
Thanks,
Paul
