make: File not found: /lib/modules/2.6.18-elive/build/
 

Hi, i'm trying to intall my webcam on elive 1 and after the "make" command this error apperars to me:
File not found: /lib/modules/2.6.18-elive/build/

I installed build-essential and linux-headers-$(uname -r) (what I thought it was necessary!)but the error is still there...Do I need other packages? Have I to link the kernel source ?(if it's the case, how?)

ciao clhona

/lib/modules/<version>/build should be a symlink to the kernel source for <version>, so you'll likely have to install that as well, and perhaps make the symlink yourself.

The ln command will likely have to be run as root, so either su or prepend sudo to the command depending on how elive does things.

thank you I will try it!
ciao

after linking everything was ok..thanx
