Regardless, none of the stock kernel-headers packages will work for you, since your kernel's configuration is different. > On Thu, 29 May 2003, Kevin Herzig wrote: > >> I'm thinking one of two things.

IMHO, all of these are ill-advised; if nothing else, trying to make /usr/include/linux a symlink will confuse dpkg, since you're stepping on libc6-dev's files. See also /usr/share/doc/libc6/README.Debian.gz. Putting a symlink in /usr/src/linux also isn't terribly useful; the directory isn't really special in Debian, and make-kpkg will tell extra modules you build where the kernel source lives. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
