hi,<br />
<br />
I'm trying to install Aculab (telephony Baord) Driver but I get this:<br />
<br />
It appears that the kernel sources have not been installed.<br />
/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/<wbr />build should be a link to the kernel source tree.<br />
The source package should be called something like 'kernel-source-[version].r<wbr />pm'<br />
and can be found on your Linux distribution media.<br />
<br />
I'm guessing that this means that I need to download the kernel source again, but how would I link &nbsp;/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/<wbr /> to the kernel source... or does this means something else? what exactly do I need to do? <br />
<br />
Thanks.. I'm using Debian Lenny... Kernel 2.6.26-2-686<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

hi,

I'm trying to install Aculab (telephony Baord) Driver but I get this:

It appears that the kernel sources have not been installed.
/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/build should be a link to the kernel source tree.
The source package should be called something like 'kernel-source-[version].rpm'
and can be found on your Linux distribution media.

I'm guessing that this means that I need to download the kernel source again, but how would I link  /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/ to the kernel source... or does this means something else? what exactly do I need to do?

Installing Driver in Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Kernel programming for Linux operating systems can be done with many different languages; C, C++, Python, Perl and Java, which are some of the most common languages used.There are also many different varieties of Linux, such as Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE.
