fatal error: linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory compilation
Hi because these now live in generated, patch the file.... or create a softlink like I do for vmware.
Malcolm, ae you telling me that after installing these rpm files they are not in the right place or do what they are designed to do? I must somehow link something to something? I;ve never heard of such a thing.

Hi The newer kernels place autoconf.h in the directory called 'generated' from 2.6.32 I think, older code looks in the directory called 'linux' for autoconf.h so it says it's not there.... hence your error.
So you either patch the code that is looking for the autoconf.h file or create a softlink that's what my script does for using (In my case) for example vmware-workstation 6.5.5. BTW, there is a fi misiing on the last line of that script, this is the updated one; http://paste.opensuse.org/89580112
Oh man !!! Don't these people even talk to each other? The poor user has to figure this stuff out and fix it???? Especially things as basic as the kernel ?
I'll try to rewrite your script but I'm not very confident. I am NOT a programmer.

The problem is that whoever wrote whatever driver you're trying to compile, has not kept it up-to-date for the latest kernel revisions. What actually is it you're trying to compile, maybe there's an easier solution?
Tejas, OK, I contacted Logitech to purchase a webcam for Linux. They reccomended a particular model and provided me with a link for the driver I needed. the link was qc-usb: Linux Driver for Quickcam USB cameras.html It is a kind of a manual. That directed me to a sourceforge location to download the driver, http://sourceforge.net/projects/qce-ga/files/ I downloaded it unzipped it and then tried to make it. Thus leading to my present frustration. I think I saw someplace in the manual that there is a CVS version also. Would that be better? If I can find it and download it, that is.
