kernel headers are missing
Hello,
I have compiled my kernel (3.1.2) from source and it's working well. But recently i needed to install some drivers and they're requiring my kernel header files. The thing is they are nowhere and I don't know how to get them. I have tried from source folder make headers_install INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/tmp/header but it return me Code:
CHK include/linux/version.h Thank you |
What distro are you using the kernel headers shoud be available thru it's package Manager.
Sorry you're using suse http://forums.opensuse.org/english/g...ders-suse.html |
Am i not supposed to create them (the headers)?

The kernel headers allow you to build drivers or recompile, they help you in creating

The "kernel headers" are a portion of the source-code of the Linux kernel that you are running: specifically, the font=courier]*.h[/font] files.
You will find that your system has two packages available, both of them probably optional: the kernel headers, and the full kernel source. Software that needs to have up-to-date definitions of any kernel-related constant or data structure, e.g. to properly make a system call of some sort, will need the header-file information. I install it routinely. |
I have finally solved my problem. I installed more recent drivers... And no errors
It's seems to be a problem with 3.1.x kernel and old nvidia drivers. |
