[SLE] make: command not found

[Dustin Lenz]

I'm a newbie so humor me here. When I issue the "make" command, I get the following response, "bash: make: command not found".

Background: I want to install drivers for my Cisco Aironet card. The install instructions say that I need at least pcmcia-cs-3.1.26 (Card and socket services). I found pcmcia-cs-3.1.30.tar.gz, and unpacked into /usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.30. Then a I then unpacked the Cisco drivers to that directory, then tried to run the "make config" command, when I receive the error stated above.

After speaking to a Cisco tech w/ minimal Linux experience, I was told that I should have make program, and that it's not installed. Can someone help me out here?

Thanks in advance,
Dustin

Hi,

You need to install the 'gcc' and 'make' packages... ...and other
development libraries that may be neccessary.

Use YAST2 --> Install Software to install these packages.

I installed the gcc and make packages via YAST2 and it worked.
Then I had to install the source tree via YAST2, that worked too.
Trouble free (so far), thanks for the input!

If you have done an 8.1 default install, your bash console should be able to find the make command.

I really find it surprising that you are having this problem. 8-/

Before you do anything, check your PATH variable by typing "set" at the command line and look for
the PATH= value, or type echo %PATH% on the bash command line.

If the path looks ok, then use Yast to "install" the needed commands. 8-/

I have SuSE 7.2 Personal and I did the default install and got make and all of the other commands
available in the bash shell. But, hey, that was several releases ago.

Good luck.

And check if make is installed with "rpm -q make"

Is that right? I thought I had done a default install, but needed to go back
and install the compiler toolchain and so on afterwards. But memory could
well be faulty here ...

The easiest way to get all the development tools aboard seems to be
Put your SuSE cd in the drive
Start Yast2
Install / remove software
You'll see a drop-down list of Selections, tick the box marked C/C++ compiler
and tools, click Accept and feed it the disks it needs.

You should then have all the necessary gubbins to compile your drivers.

No, my 8.1 did not have make installed by default, I had to do it later
(development packages). Not everybody does a compile :-)

I'm a newbie so humor me here. When I issue the "make" command, I get
the following response, "bash: make: command not found".

General procedure to find uninstalled programs:

***@nimrodel:~> pin make
pin 0.26 - package info for make

------------------------------------------------------------------
*** rpm info
------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : make Relocations: (not relocateable)
Version : 3.79.1 Vendor: SuSE Linux AG, Nuernberg, Germany
Release : 389 Build Date: Mon 09 Sep 2002 10:01:39 PM CEST
Install date: Thu 07 Nov 2002 06:18:39 PM CET Build Host: hubert.suse.de
Group : Development/Tools/Building Source RPM: make-3.79.1-389.src.rpm
Size : 520902 License: GPL
Packager : http://www.suse.de/feedback
Summary : GNU make command
Description :
GNU make command
Distribution: SuSE Linux 8.1 (i386)



In this case, there is a package of that name, so install it. On some case
there isn't, so browse the output of pin looking for bin/program and
usually you'l find what you are looking for.

After doing the 8.1 update from 8.0 I am having problems with Yast Online
Update - it will not sucessfully download anything!

In particular, when I run Yast, it tries to download an update for YOU, and
fails:

Retrieving you: "YOU update" Ok
Retrieving you-devel: "YOU update developer packages" Error: Signature check
failed.
Download finished.

Any ideas?

Download the following update:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/8.0/yast1/yast2-config-online-update.rpm
and install it e.g. with 'rpm':


rpm -Uhv yast2-config-online-update.rpm

Note to self:
This fix is for SuSE 8.0 not 8.1, which I believe you just mentioned
that you had upgraded too?
