I have a fresh install of 13.37. I chose defaults for most (maybe all) of the packages, including kernel-headers. I'm trying to build xcpustate but am getting the following error:

In file included from s.c:87:0:
s-linux.c:30:27: fatal error: linux/threads.h: No such file or directory

My glibc version is 2.13 as reported by ldd --version:
ldd (GNU libc) 2.13

The file is at /usr/src/linux-2.6.37.6/include/linux/threads.h

It seems that the files in /usr/include/linux are only a subset of what is in /usr/src/linux/include-2.6.37.6/linux. From what I understand, the files at /usr/include/linux are or should be the ones that libc was built for. I suspect there will be a similar problem with the /usr/include/asm directory.

On my very old linux system (slackware 3... um, yeah, it's been a while...) I recall a similar problem that was solved with some symbolic links but from what I've read that is not the right solution (plus I tried it and it didn't work.)

What's the proper (and hopefully easy) way to resolve this?

Edited, I thought kernel-headers wasn`t installed. Need to drink more coffee to wake up

Not sure if this will work but try going into the /usr/src/linux/ directory and do a

I second that as IIRC long ago I had such a problem after doing a "make mrproper" in that directory and it was solved with a "make prepare".

xcpustate seems to be rather old an unmaintained.

It should be noted that the missing header file does not actually provide any useful defines any more so even if it was there it would make no difference.

It did seem pretty stale. Is there a more modern / maintained tool that provides similar information? I've been out of the Linux scene for a while. There may even be one that came with 13.37 and I just don't know it.
