[linux-laptop] problem of internal mdem config./installation

[Jayant Ogale]

Hi,
i have sony vaiio vgn-s4m lap-top with an internal modem V90.
previously i had installed mdk 10.0 on it, and configured/installed this
modem using slmodem-2.9.10.tar.gz.
this was working fine.
recently i installed mandriva 2006 [deleting mdk10.0], because i was told
that as this is an advanced version, this detects
and installs most of the internal modem.
but it did not happened automatically. so i tried to configure/install it
with the same tar ball and it is giving me errors
detailed as follows. please let me know what is this error? and how to
correct it?
also i would like to know that if sonething can be easily done in earlier
versions why it doesnt happen in so called advanced versions?
thanks,
jayant.
