Driver for Digi Multiport Serial Card 8

Hi list,

I have some problems with compilation driver for Digi Multiport Serial Card 8.
I have downloaded the driver: 40002369_A.tgz from site,
I make the process in the manual, and I don´t any idea
about this error in compilation:

=====
make[1]: Leaving directory /work/dgnc-1.0/ditty' (cd dpa; make all) make[1]: Entering directory /work/dgnc-1.0/dpa’
gcc -s -O2 -DLINUX -DNEO -DMRGDRV -DHELPDIR="/etc/dgnc/dpa" -I… -I…/include -I…/driver/include -DDGNC_LINUX -o dpa dpa.c attribs.o -lpanel -lcurses

Depending on which Multiport Serial card you have, please follow one of the following install instructions:

It appears as though the “./configure” command was not issued prior to the “make all”. Try running this command first.

Here are the steps shown in the Release Notes:

       1. tar xvfz 40002369_A.tgz
       2. cd ./dgnc-1.0
       3. ./configure
       4. make all
       5. make install
