Hi all,

I've successfully identified my laptop's internal modem and downloaded the
driver package.  The configuration program requires access to the kernel
sources and is complaining that they may not be correctly installed.  I
installed them thus:

rpm -iv kernel-2.4.18-10spk.src.rpm

and I got no errors.  The modem configuration utility reports this error:

Error: /lib/modules/2.4.18-10spk/build points to a missing directory

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 35 Sep 20 10:19 /lib/modules/2.4.18-10spk/build ->
../../../usr/src/linux-2.4.18-10spk

Please ensure that the kernel source RPM package is correctly installed.

I've checked and there is no /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-10spk directory, but the
/lib/modules/2.4.18-10spk tree does exist.

Did I use the wrong parameters for installing the RPM?  I'm running the
modem configuration tool from /root - is that my mistake?

Help!

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Tim
