im trying to run make-kpkg. Im trying to make a correct source directory so i can recompile the kernel with the ati linux drivers. So far its not working. I cant really tell whats going on. Since i dont have a long enoguh space for the entire thing, i will show where thigns go wrong.
I seem to need this to work, to get the correct "kernel includes"

Looks like you do not have libc6-dev and linux-kernel-headers installed. Also have you heard of apt-file you can use it to search for missing files or list files in packages that are not installed and works similar to apt-get in that you use apt-file update and then apt-file search file_missing for example from your output above.

BTW 185.

yo happy tux. It seems to ahve worked, about the libc6. thanks. I see your from nova scotia. My favorite place in the world. Greenwood, ever heard of it?

Your welcome and certainly have heard of Greenwood my cousin was stationed at the airbase there for about ten years working on the planes.
