First, I am a n00b to linux...second, it appears i have found the proper drivers for my sound card. Upon reading the README it says type "make install" i assume i do this in the directory where all the xxxx.c files are. Anyway, when i do this i get the following error cc:command not found From what i understand, cc is the command to compile C or C++. Now how would one go about getting this cc command to work? Is it like 'path' in MSDos? and i just have to point it? Anyhelp would be great!!! Thanks, these forums have been a lot of help!

You either don't have gcc (cc) compiler on your system or it is not in your path!!! Look in /usr/bin/ to see if you have either one, gcc or cc. And if there is one, then check your path. Which shell (bash, ksh, zsh, or csh/tcsh) are you using? Just finger your account if you are not sure which one is your dafault... Lawrence

First, thanks for the speedy response. Second, I am using the Bash Shell, and upon inspection of /usr/bin, it doesn't look like either gcc or cc are there. I thought those were some packages that RedHat would automatically put in, alas no. How would I go about doing that? Thanks

Try 'which gcc' or 'which cc'. That will tell you the path to cc/gcc, assuming it is in the PATH variable. If you don't have a c compiler, then you obviously won't be able to install anything from source, so you'll need the rpm file. Try searching rpmfind.net for the gcc rpm. Download it, and install it, as root, by running 'rpm -i filename.rpm'. You're using RedHat, so you should have rpm.

I have a ac 97 Integreated sound card.I am using linux (red hat 7.1).The auto configuration of my sound card failed and i have a great problem solving this problem.My motherboard is an original INTEL 815e. Please do give me a solution.
