Matchup of kernel header and source, and apt-get problem

fallen3019 · 05-05-2007, 03:58 AM

I just installed Linux Suse 10.1, but i'm not sure that the source files and headerfiles versions match.

i checked the source with

Code:

# uname -r
2.6.16.13-4-default

how to I check what version the header files are? (i know that i can do this somewhere in YAST but i'm not entirely sure where to find this...)

And if they are not the same, how can i get them to match?

Also.... one small other thing...
Bash does not recgonise the apt-get command... is there a way i should configure that?
because i tried to use the following, and i got the following error...

Code:

# apt-get install linux-headers-`(uname -r)`
-bash: apt-get: command not found

Thanks!

Suse does not come with apt, did you install it?
Why do you need the headers, what are you trying to do?

That would be my next problem.

What I am trying to do is find the offset of a member of the struct task_struct in sched.h.

I have a small C (standalone) program that uses the offsetof () function to find eg: 'pid' in the struct.
However this is giving me a multitude of errors, from files that are in the includes of sched.h, when i try to compile it with gcc.
I was wondering if the reason for these errors was because of the version of the headers not being the same as the kernel.. (that's why I need to check)
However,I am beginning to suspect that the problem is with gcc...
