Appendix D – Installing with Linux

Building and Installing the TI USB Driver from the Source RPM Package

Follow this step if your distribution supports RPM packages; otherwise, follow the next step on installing from a TGZ package.

You need the TI USB source RPM package for this step. The Introduction section above describes where to find the latest TI USB source RPM.

Log in as root and do the following:

Command	Explanation
1.	This command builds the driver package for
	your kernel.
rpmbuild ‐‐rebuild ti_usb‐X.Y‐Z.src.rpm	For Red Hat.
‐‐ OR ‐‐
rpm ‐‐rebuild ti_usb‐X.Y‐Z.src.rpm	For SUSE.
2.
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386	For Red Hat.
‐‐ OR ‐‐
cd /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386	For SUSE.
	Or use the appropriate path for your Linux
	distribution.
3. rpm ‐Uvh ti_usb‐X.Y‐Z.i386.rpm	This command installs the driver package.

If there are problems in this process, you may need to go back to install and prepare the kernel sources as described above. You may need to remove the RPM package with "rpm ‐e ti_usb‐X.Y‐Z" or remove RPM temporary files. Red Hat stores RPM temporary files in /var/tmp and /usr/src/redhat/BUILD; other distributions may store them in other places.
