Let me add this so maybe i'll be alittle more clear. I built a new kernel. Everything is good to go. I ran grep -l "lib/modules/`uname -r`" *
and the output was this:
fglrx-module-8.455.2-x86-1_kernel_2.6.21.5_smp
kernel-modules-smp-2.6.21.5_smp-i686-2
rt61-2008022422_2.6.21.5_smp-i486-1
svgalib_helper-1.9.25_2.6.21.5-i486-1
I built all the other packages without a hitch(minus the kernel modules of course). svagalib_helper comes standard with slack 12, but it is a module and should be rebuilt against the new kernel. This would be correct?
I'm trying to build this but I am getting errors.
Here is what I'm doing "KERNEL=2.6.23.16-smp ./svgalib_helper.Slackbuild"
I get all this good stuff:

My only thought is I have to build the svgalib pkg so I can have it in the /tmp directory so the helper pkg can read from this? Looked at building the svgalib pkg but not realy sure how safe it is. Anyone done this before.
