Where are my kernel headers at

Stephanie_new · 06-03-2002, 02:25 PM

I am trying to install a new program, and it keeps wanting to know where my kernel headers are so it can re-compile itself.

Now I thought in Mandy it is /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-6mdk/include, but while I do see headers, the progrma says that they are not there.

Anyone got ideas?

did you install kernel-devel.rpm or something like this? If not, this may be the problem.

To discover what a package contains, type:

rpm -qpl pack.rpm | less

hth,

vfs
so you can read...

yeah the headers go there, but they should also be linked in at erm... /usr/include/linux/ ( from /usr/src/linux/include/linux ) so make sure that that symlink is in place.. and that you have the source rpm installed too....

Is it looking for any processor specific headers?
