DKMS install prerequisite not mentioned in README.md #99

Closed patbarron closed 3 years ago

The "dkms-install.sh" script fails if bc is not installed on the host. You might think, "well, who doesn't install bc?" But it turns out, the base installation of Debian 10.6 does not...

I found the problem by seeing an error message about not being able to run bc in the make.log file upon running the "dkms-install.sh" script (and also, the build failed). Problem was resolved by simply running apt-get install bc.

It might be worth mentioning this dependency in the README.md file.

I see this has now been fixed in commit e2377c96ea84992471d51c67ecf42a193121054d. Thanks!!
