Installation problem

[FrancisT]

Hi,
I am attempting to install the linux software in Fedora 15. After installing gcc it proceeds ok until I run make when I get this error:
File not found: /lib/modules/2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686/build/.config at ./scripts/make_kconfig.pl line 32, <IN> line 4

I do not know how to solve this.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Did you install kernel sources?

In fedora

# yum update
# yum install kernel-devel
# yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

(or like) Then, try to compile drivers.

Best regards.

Thank you Sergio,
following your instructions allowed the installation of the tbs 6922 to proceed without error - BUT upon rebooting Fedora does not finish loading with errors like:
Job dev-mapper-vg_media\x2dlv.home.device/start timed out
Job fedora-autorelabel.service/start failed with result 'dependency'
Job fedora-autorelabel-mark.service/start failed with result 'dependency'
Job local-fs.target/start failed with result 'dependency'
Triggering OnFailure= dependencies of local-fs.target
Job home.mount/start failed with result 'dependency'
Job dev-mapper-vg_media\x2dlv.home.device/start failed with result 'timeout'

As I cannot get into Fedora I have decided to reinstall Fedora & start again, running the yum commands earlier.

Thanks again,
Francis

Hi Sergio,
I have reinstalled Fedora 15 and updated it as per your commands., rebooting after each one
I have downloaded linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 for the TBS6922 and the file linux-tbs-sources.tar.bz2 is not included in the archive. The archive has linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 in it and the only other bz2 files are the scan & the szap ones.

So at the moment I cannot progress.

Thanks,
Francis

linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 have the source to compile
first copy all .fw files to /lib/firmware (or where fedora have firmwares)
then unpack linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 and run
# v4l/tbs-x86.sh (or v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh if you are using fedora 64 bits)
# make & make install

reboot and verify if it's all ok:

Best regards.

I was using a Proliant Microserver for this install and as well as having a dependency problem, I was having difficulty sourcing an audio card for it.
I have now made up a PC with an MSI motherboard, E5400 CPU & 4Gb RAM. With Fedora I was still getting the dependency problem after install & unable to completely get Fedora running.
I have now installed Windows 7 Home Premium and see how I get on.

Thanks for your help.

Francis
