Problem Compiling Driver

[HypoLuxa]

I downloaded a driver from gimp-print.sourceforge.org. When I try to compile it, I get the following error:

[root@localhost /root]# cd /home/christi/gimp-print-4.1.99-a1/
[root@localhost gimp-print-4.1.99-a1]# ./configure

What distribution of linux are you using?
Do you have autoconf installed? Do you have kernel sources?

[HypoLuxa]

I'm using mandrake 8. I don't have autoconf installed. I don't even know what that is. What are kernel sources?

Sounds like you didn't install gcc. You really aren't going to compile anything without a compiler. Autoconf, automake and gcc should be on the Mandrake CD or download it from one of their FTP sites.

The kernel source is the source code used to compile a linux kernel.

Great...thanks guys. I got it figured out thanks to your suggestions. The driver doesn't work worth crap, but it's installed. :rolleyes:
