Hello Fellows,

I'm trying to install vnstat on my Slackware box, but it fails while compiling..

here:

Code:

root@go:/home/vnstat-1.10# make
make -C src
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/vnstat-1.10/src'
gcc -O2   -c -o vnstat.o vnstat.c

Code:

Any help is more than appreciated..!!

Thanks..

Try installing the kernel-headers package.
