[hsflinux] CentOS 5.0 installation problem

[Ioannis Vranos]

OS: CentOS 5.0 x86.
Hardware: Pentium III 1 GHZ / 1 GB RAM.



The driver for my modem 
(ftp://ftp.allieddata.com/Public/Product_Info/Analog_Modems/Tornado_562-SII/Drivers/Linux/Linux.zip), 
fails to install. The tar.gz and rpm both fail, and I will provide the 
output of the rpm installation:

[root at localhost hsfmodem-7.18.00.02oem-1.i386.rpm.zip_FILES]# rpm -ivh

No pre-built modules for: RedHat-5 linux-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 i686-SMP

Trying to automatically build the driver modules...
(this requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be installed)

WARNING: the kernel version () defined in
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.1.el5/build/include/linux/version.h
does not match the currently running kernel (2.6.18-8.1.1.el5)
The cause of this problem is an incorrect kernel source path.
Please check that /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.1.el5/build points to the 
right tree.
The cause of this is usually a missing or unconfigured
kernel source tree (and sometimes an incorrect directory or symbolic link).

However, proper /boot/config-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 was found.

Building modules for kernel , using source directory

ERROR: Module build failed!
Please examine the log file "/tmp/hsfconfig-buildlog.txt" to determine why.
