Hi people,
I'm trying to get my ADSL USB speedtouch 330 modem (rev 4 - silver version).
I managed to get it to work in Mandrake 10 by using a script from here http://speedtouchconf.sourceforge.net.
I have just installed Mephis 2004.01 and when i go to run the script i get the following message
----------------------------------------------------
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
------------------------------------------------------
any ideas what to do?
apt-get install libc6-dev

You'll need g++ and libc6-dev as the minimum to compile any programs. You can download them without using apt-get by visiting http://www.debian.org and search the package repositories for them. Download the relevant debs and any dependencies they may have (which will be listed) from a system where you do have internet access and install them with the command dpkg -i filename.deb.
elleomea thank you so much.

There's a note at the bottom of the speedtouch configuration page about an issue with the 2.6 kernel (and the relevant work around), is this what you're experiencing?

I was told on a different forum that the reason its not working is due to Mepis 2004.01 not coming with g++.
I was told to apt-get install g++, but i cannot as i am not online in mepis (the reason i was trying to do the script in the 1st place) .
Can i download the packages and install locally (i am online in my windows partition).
what packages do i need and where can i get them?
cheers
