mgaleano LQ Newbie Registered: May 2005 Posts: 3 Rep:	unpackaging Kernel source code on Redhat ES4 Hi Is there any easy way to execute a src RPM kernel file? I am trying to extract the kernel source but I get the error "This is a source RPM which cannot be installed with system-config-packages". This is when I double click on the package using GNOME GUI. When I run rpm -Uvh kernal-2.6.9-5.EL.src.rpm. I get this error. [root@localhost tmp]# rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.src.rpm warning: kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES Any ideas... I'm running to run ndiswrapper and it needs kernel source before I can do anything. So I downloaded the src but not sure how to install it. Matt
