The errors while installing AC 97 Audio Driver

[skies123]

My system is Ubuntu 8.10, and I'm using Realtek AC97 Audio Card.
After I installed ubuntu, I found its audio driver was lost, so I download one from internet. But when I configuring it, it showed error like this(in Terminal):

What should I do?:confused:
Thanks very much.

This question caught me unaware that realtek made Linux drivers so I checked it out for you. Your problem is you are trying to use make to install them and this is not the best way to do it. There is an automatic install script in the downloaded drivers


1. Unzip the driver package you downloaded

2. Copy the unzipped directory where ever you keep source code you install ( I just use a directory in my home folder called CustomSoftware )

3. cd into the directory where you put the source code and then into the driver source code folder

4. Run the following command

sudo ./install

Should be good to go, hope it works
