cracking winmodem issues pt 2: error messages - ?solution?

[Art Ped]

Original problem:

"My Toshiba Softmodem AMR used to work in linux (a rather strange distro called Topologilinux). I used a Smartlink driver slmdm-2.7.9 and it was easy.
 
However, compiling and installing this driver or any of its newer versions has proved extremely frustrating so far under FC2. I amended the path to the kernel in Makefile and have tried using rpm but nothing works and I get screenfuls of error and warning messages when I type in "make".
 
I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. It might be a very basic error, as I'm a bit of a muppet. Perhaps I've got to path to the kernel includes wrong ...  I've put in /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/include."

Sorry James, I admit my earlier e-mails were more than a littly foggy.
 
I tried slmodem-2.9.8, slmodem-2.9.7 and slmodem-2.9.9 from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/   but with no luck. Once again I amended the Kernel-directory path in Makefile. When I typed "make" I got the long list of error messages attached to this e-mail in FULL as "errors" (I managed to put it on a floppy and export it to Windows).
I have tried both
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358
and /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build   as the kernel path.
It looks as if I've either got that wrong or I am missing a great many kernel headers (???).
 
Any ideas
 
Thanks in advance
Art.

was having problems installing the slmodem driver.

Two things, Art:

Firstly, it seriously helps (us) if you include a summary of the problem
in each post, or at least respond to your previous post so that we can
look "up-thread". This means people can see the beginning of the story,
and respond to the context.

Secondly, we need to know which version of the driver you're installing,
and where it came from. A quick Google makes me think that a 2.7 driver
Just Won't Work on a 2.6 kernel: try a slmodem-2.9 version.

For what it's worth, I don't have your hardware, and I run a standard
Linus 2.6.7 kernel, but slmodem-2.9.8 from
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ just compiled fine
for me (obviously I can't test it).

HTH,

James.
