    I am trying to install a driver for a Zoom model 3095 USB 56K modem. The installation procedure requires the make command, for example:
    make install
    make menuconfig
    both of these give command not found, as does make --help

    Do I need some additional package to run the make command?

    Just load up a terminal and run
    Code:
    sudo yum install make
    and it'll install it in a jiffy, if you're compiling something that is written in C (Which I'd imagine it would be if it's a driver) you might also need to add the GNU C Compiler
    Code:
    sudo yum install make gcc

    Thanks, for that, it has now installed the make command, I had previously installed gcc.
