BUILD is empty

sindhoor.hegde · 09-18-2006, 01:42 AM

Hi,
I have installed FC5 with the kernel version 2.6.15-1
I am finding BUILD,RPMS,SOURCE,SPECS and SRPMS directories under /usr/src/redhat all empty

.
I tried reinstalling but it didnt helped me much.
Please anyone can let me know how should I overcome this problem?

what's the problem, they are empty until you put stuff in them....

Thank u Chris,
I was under the impression that, BUILD should have the kernel in it.In Redhat 4 I can find kernel in /usr/src/linux 2.4.16-20.
In FC5 where can find them?
Thanks in advance

it'll only be there once you install it yourself. this would probably have been included if you installed the developement pacakge or whatnot. you can install the src.rpm from the installatino media or via yum and then it'd appear there. the kernel source decompressed is somethign liek 100mb+, that's a lot of space to "waste" if you install it by default.
