problem with alsa drivers, unable to run ./configure
Ok here we go...
My problem: Can't run ./configure for the alsa-driver My system: IBM Thinkpad 600E Redhat 9 - 2.4.20-19.9 My error message: "The file /lib/modules/2.4.20.19.9/build/include/linux/version.h does not exist" "Please install the package with with full kernel sources for your distribution or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel sources (default is /usr/src/linux)" My question: How do I install with the full kernel sources? Or how do I find the optional kernel source ? Magnus |
on the distro cd's there will be a file called kernel-sources-2.4.20-19.9.something.blah.rpm. install it.

Open an x terminal and command: redhat-config-packages

Ok!
But I use redhat up2date so the CD is kind of old... Tried to find the kernel on rpmfind but it's not there... Any ideas? |
Option 1 Install with the package management tool
Option 2 (command line) Install apt4rpm command: apt-get install kernel-sources If you gotta have pointy-clicky: apt-get install synaptic Option 3 Install Red Carpet (requires X to be running) and install using the Red Carpet gui. |
I read about that nice software!
I also found the kernel at redhat's ftp... Thank you for your fast replyes! I'll probably be back in a few minutes! Thank you |
Ok, I'm back...
I downloaded the file: kernel-2.4.20-19.9.i686.rpm - is this a sourcefile? When i rpm it it's allready installed! |
Perhaps you are missing the symbolic link /usr/src/linux?
# Compiling/installing kernel modules You will need to have installed: 1. The developmental packages (compiler) 2. The kernel source code that matches your running kernel 3. The module source or install code Check out your system and see what's under the hood and see if you installed the stuff you need to do the job. Open an x terminal and type in this sequence of commands to see what kernel we are running and see if you have the kernel source installed: Code:
[fancy@tinwhistle phil]$ su -Code:
[root@tinwhistle root]# cd /usr/srcIf you don't see something similiar to this (but in color), you will need to install the kernel source. NOTE: I noticed that Red Hat didn't make the symbolic link /usr/src/linux that all of the INSTALL files that I have read mentioned that I need, so I may as well make one now to save editing the files in the source code to install.So, I'll make it just now: Code:
[root@tinwhistle src]# ln -s linux-2.4.18-3 linux Next, did I install the compiler? Code:
[root@tinwhistle src]# gcc -v If you don't have those two things installed, you have to install them first off your install CD. If they are installed, download the source and happy comiling. :tisk: Make sure you carefully read the README and INSTALL files after extracting and before compiling/installing. :study: # Guides to software and installation and uninstallation LNAG - How do I install a program I downloaded from the Internet? Rute Guide's software explanation You might want to check out CheckInstall to manage source code installations/uninstallation |
I didn't have the symbolic link.
So i added one in /usr/src.... (ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-19.9 linux) Same error when running ./configure ... If I have the source on the disk what should I search for to find it? I tried to install the kernel tools via the packet managment but I cant install any packages untill i have installed: Krb5-libs 1.2.7-10 Openssl=0.9.7a-2 So I downloaded them... but when I rpm I found out that I allready have a newer version installed. Resulting in a conflict. So I tried to rpm -U but it wont work - cant find the name... |
Quote:
I.E., the symbolic link /usr/src/linux should point to /usr/src/linux-<kernel version> When making the link, 1. Were you root? 2. Was your working directory /usr/src? # What directory am I using pwd 3. Was your typing correct? ln -s linux-<kernel version> linux |
I realized that flashing red wasnt a good sign, so I fixed it and edited my post but I guess you have a lot to do so maybe you missed that...
I wrote: ...in /usr/src.... ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-19.9 linux (this is the same path as in lilo.conf and the color changed) Same problem still.... How can I see if I have the sources? I want to use: find|grep -w kernelsourcename but I don't know the name of the files... When I run ./configure the file /include/linux/version.h is missing. Maybe it's the same file as in usr/include/linux ???? |
Code:
[fancy@tinwhistle phil]$ su -Code:
[root@tinwhistle root]# cd /usr/src |
If you don't see the directory /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-19.9, you don't have kernel-sources installed.
|
I don't.
Earlier in this thread I asked if kernel-2.4.20-19.9.i686.rpm is a sourcefile? When i use rpm it it says that it's allready installed! Help me with this one, I think it will solve things... |
Install kernel-sources-2.4.20-19.9.i686.rpm
