I had to download the source for my kernel (2.6.11) and copied in the config file for my running kernel (actually, one very similar to it, but not exactly the same one that built this kernel – I lost that kernel config file) from /boot to the source directory. However, in the end I didn’t use the -g option to do the build. The -g option gets you the graphical installer. The installer scirpt accepts the -g option but the help message (–help or -?) doesn’t list it.And I really don’t want to rebuild the kernel – this one works and I can barely remember all the things I did to get this one to work. I’m using a custom 2.6 kernel but don’t think I have the /lib/modules stuff installed correctly. The script fails spectacularly (lots of errors) because it tries to build the aiptek kernel modules but fails.But like the RPMs, you just go with the flow and hope for the best. You also have to run it as root, which is scary when you don’t know exactly what’s going to be installed. There are no install instructions for the install script.Once that was fixed, I was able to install the perl-Gtk2 package and its dependencies. I fixed it by rebuilding the db (rpm –rebuilddb) and then switching from DAG (which was causing the problem) to Dries (which also had the perl-Gtk2 package) repository. var/cache/yum/dag/repomd.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty My RPM db must have been messed up because the dag repository kept giving me errors like this: This requird the perl-Gtk2 package for Fedora Core 3. The X driver doesn’t have to be built and, at least initially, I’m not building it. That package allows you to build three pieces: the kernel driver, the X driver and a user level management tool. The SourceForge site has a downloadable package. This is what I’m doing to get it configured under Linux.įirst, I had to go to the Aiptek driver web site. It’s a refurbished tablet but it appears to be in the original packaging.
