Trying to install Freecom DVB-T USB stick drivers

[Michiel]

After extracting the driver for my version of this DVB-T stick  rtl2831u_dvb-usb_v0.0.2mod.tar.gz
I am trying to do a make

However I immediately get this error message:

Code:

make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-86/build: Unknown file or folder.  Halted.

build is present as a binding (to /usr/src/somnething) in /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-86/, however it appears that it cannot be detected and the make process is aborted.

Alternatively the readme says one can copy allf iles to
drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb
however I cannot find this folder in Pardus.

Does somebody have any hints for this?

Have you installed "kernel-source" ?

[Michiel]

No I had not, I installed kernel-source, and after that I came a bit further, however, I am stil ending with an error (in dutch the word for error is 'fout') message:

BTW officially this driver is developed for a newer kernel version than the 2.6.18.8 one we use currently
