Linux newbie here:

I am installing a NetworkEverywhere NC100 network card on Caldera OpenLinux
2.3 (2.2.10). I followed the instructions on scyld.com regarding installing
Netdriver. However, when I issue the command rpm -i --force
RPMS/i386/netdriver-2.0-*.i386.rpm I get the following errors:

"the execution of script failed"; and
"netdriver-2.0-3.i386.rpm cannot be installed."

What am I doing wrong?

Here are the instructions I used:

# Transfer the Scyld PCI Netdriver package
rpm -i ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdriver-2.0.src.rpm
# Build the binary version for your kernel
cd /usr/src/{redhat,TurboLinux}/
rpm -bb SPECS/netdriver.spec WORKS FINE
# Now install it your newly built package.
rpm -i --force RPMS/i386/netdriver-2.0-*.i386.rpm


Also, I seem to recall someone suggesting that I may not have the source
code installed. I have a source code CD and for the life of me, I can't
figure out how to install the damn thing.

Thanks in advance for your help.
