3.5.3 Installing TG3 Driver Software

Installing the Source RPM Package
1. Install the source RPM package.
rpm -ivh tg3-
2. Change the directory to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your kernel (the
RPM path is different for different Linux distributions).
cd /usr/src/redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ...
rpm -bb SPECS/tg3.spec or rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec
rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec (for RPM version 4.x.x)
NOTE: During your attempt to install a source RPM package, the following
message may be displayed:
error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCE
The most likely cause of the error is that the rpm-build package has not been
installed. Locate the rpm-build package on the Linux installation media and
install it using the following command:
rpm -ivh rpm-build-version.i386.rpm
Complete the installation of the source RPM.
3. Install the newly-built package (driver and man page).
rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/tg3-
Depending on the kernel, the driver is installed to one of the following paths:
version
.src.rpm
version
39
