How to install drivers in Fedora 15
Hi all
I have a Universal PCI RS-232 card and I need to install drivers for it.
I have the drivers CD, Is there anyway I can install it from add/remove program application. It does not give me the option to browse for the drivers.
Secondly, I have tried to install it from the terminal and it displays the following output.
[lab@lab /]$ ls
bin cgroup etc lib media opt root sbin srv temp usr
boot dev home lost+found mnt proc run selinux sys tmp var
[lab@lab /]$ cd temp/
[lab@lab temp]$ ls
snx snx_V1.3.3.0.tar.gz snx_Ver1-2-0-0
[lab@lab temp]$ cd snx
[lab@lab snx]$ ls
driver Makefile README snxdump snxmknod snxterm
[lab@lab snx]$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[lab@lab snx]$ make
cd driver;\
make
make[1]: Entering directory `/temp/snx/driver'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686/build SUBDIRS=/temp/snx/driver modules
make: Entering an unknown directory
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: Leaving an unknown directory
make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/temp/snx/driver'
make: *** [driver_make] Error 2
[lab@lab snx]$
It displays the same output, even when I log in as root.
Help. I need to install this drivers.

NAME
install-menu - Process a menu method and generate the menu files for a window manager or a menu-aware application.
DESCRIPTION
update-menus(1) computes the list of menu entries and passes it in turn to the menu methods in /etc/menu-methods/. The task of a menu meth-
ods is to generate menus for a specific window manager. install-menu provides a generic and customizable way to do that. The documentation
of the install-menu definition language is available in the Debian Menu manual, a local copy being available in /usr/share/doc/menu/html.
SYNOPSIS
install-menu [-vh] [--remove] <menu-method>
Read menu entries from stdin in update-menus --stdout format and generate menu files using the specified menu-method.
Normally used in menu method scripts as #! /usr/bin/install-menu.
OPTIONS
-h,--help
Show the help message and exit.
--remove
Remove the menu files instead of generating them.
-v,--verbose
Output messages about what the program is doing.
COPYING
install-menu is distributed under the term of the GNU General Public License version 2, or (at your option) any later version.
