Thats the way it should be, you can then have multiple source tree's
all you need to do is remove the symlink from 2.2.5 and make a new
link to say 2.2.10 with;
cd /usr/src
rm linux
ln -s linux-2.2.10 linux
The make command must be issued in the "linux directory.
If that does not work thewn you will need to install the gnu compiler
and development source rpms.
