sh-4.1# make
command not found

2. After loading 'lupu_devx_528-4.sfs'

sh-4.1# cd '/root/ngstardrv-1.0.0-3/gcc4.0'
sh-4.1#./CreateModule
make -c /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/build SUBDIRS=/root/ngstardrv-1.0.0-3/gcc4.0/tempDirectory modules
make:*** /lib/modules//2.6.33.2/build: No such file or directory. Stop

Before compiling i'd suggest that you also load kernel_src_L4, its in the quickpet sfs get. In your case it seems that you're messing with kernel modules so, i think you need this.

Welcome, rock.chor

Is the finger print scanner you mention *nitgen's fingkey hamster* the same as the ones listed at link below?
Is it Linux compatible?

Yes i m using same product as listed above. i have purchased them from bioenabletech.com.
In folder attachment gcc version is 4.0. But i m using lucid puppy 5.2.8 with version 4.4 or something. Does this make problem (in case of shared libraries )? Is gcc backward compatible?
I have already loaded lupu_devx_528.sfs file. Also i have tried by using full kernel source.
Till no luck.
