devel packeges install. but all my source headers are missing !!!
 

here are the first few error messages reported by gcc.

i have done a "find / | grep string.h"
and no file is found.

i have a compiler installed. along with development tools.
but all my headers are missing !!!! what went wrong ?

what do i have to do to get them back ?

even stdlib.h and string.h are missing..... !!!

fixed !

and i think ive discovered a major fedora core 2 final bug.

i found that the missing headers belong to glibc-devel.
rpm -q shoqed that the glibc-devel package was installed.

so to re-install it i did a "rpm -e glibc-devel --nodeps"
then, "rpm -ivh glibc-devel"

that should have fixed the dependency's i frobe by forcing the remove.
instead, it failed on anouther package dependency glibc-headers.

and on attempting to install glibc-headers, i found anouther dependency.
kernel-headers.

the kernel source was installed, so this couldnt be it.
and no kernel-headers package exists on the fedora install disks.
which i believe is what begun this chain of faileddependency's.

a download of theis 4 meg package seems to fix everythng.

am i missing somthing ? or should i submit a bug report ???

oops, wrong again....

it seems the file glibc-kernheaders solves the kernel-headers dependency, which IS present on the fedora disks.

but still, the system-config-packeges made a seriouse cockup.

happens in debian sarge too. installing libc6-dev did the trick though.
