First I should start off with, yes, I am a real big newbie at Linux. I've been trying to get a distro where I can use my MA-101 usb wireless device, and so far the easiest install I have seen has been on Mandrake 9.1: So I downloaded it. Following the tutorial, located at jennings.homelinux.net/atmel.html I got to the point in the tutorial where I had to use the make command (make install, and I did it as root). Here's what it gave me back:


[benny@localhost at76c503-0.8]$ make install
gcc -MD -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -pipe -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -DDRIVER_VERSION=\"v0.8\" -I/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/build/include -c at76c503.c
make: gcc: Command not found
make: *** [at76c503.o] Error 127
[benny@localhost at76c503-0.8]$

I had installed Mandrake 9.1 a few months earlier, and I had the same exact problem, which led me to go back to Windows XP, because I had a pressing project to do. If anyone could tell me what this error means and how I can fix it, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Also, I tried using make to compile in several other distros, and never had this problem. (Hence me putting it in the Mandrake section.)

either gcc is NOT installed or not in path

Well, now Make works for me, thanks very much. But I get an error when I try to make... and it goes a little something like this.
