the MAKE command , where to find

[mtbuller]

Hi all,

I am new to Linux and having a hell of a time with this (http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=5788.0 ).

Now trying to use the Ralink drivers but it needs me to do a "make config".

Somewhere in Konsole, i get the reply as command not found.

Any idea how I can get "make" command. Please note that I do not have any internet connection through Kubuntu 6.06 therefore cannot apt-get anything.

Thanks in advance for the advise.

You are in a catch 22 situation!

You have to install make but you can't install it until you use it to get online! About all you can do is try to get it with another comp that is online,google it and you will find places to down load it.

If you have the alternate install CD, build-essential is on that. Pop the CD in. Type

sudo apt-cdrom add

Then add it as a source.

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install build-essential

Hello aysiu,

do not quite understand. I went to Kubuntu site again and there is only one CD to download. So the alternative install CD ??

I've found it!! but it's going to take a longggggggggggggggg time to download.

Thanks , I'll try it out.

BTW, can I use it as an ISO or must I burn it to a CD (wasting one CD )
