[hsflinux] Re: cannot compile latest hsf linmodem driver - maybe gcc problem?

[Hanno Böck]

Okay, now I know the problem.
I'm using gentoo linux and my gcc is in
/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2/

The script only looks in /usr/bin, not in the full path.

I can compile the driver now, but I think this is definitely a bug and
should be fixed.
