Noticed that in selected_ptxdistconfig that I have this: # # gcc libraries # PTXCONF_GCCLIBS=y PTXCONF_GCCLIBS_GCC_S=y PTXCONF_GCCLIBS_CXX=y # PTXCONF_GCCLIBS_GCJ is not set PTXCONF_ICONV=y # PTXCONF_GLOBAL_IPV6 is not set PTXCONF_KERNEL_HEADER=y PTXCONF_KERNEL_HEADER_VERSION="2.6.39" PTXCONF_KERNEL_HEADER_MD5="1aab7a741abe08d42e8eccf20de61e05" PTXCONF_GLOBAL_LARGE_FILE=y PTXCONF_LIBC=y PTXCONF_LIBC_GLIBC=y # PTXCONF_LIBC_UCLIBC is not set PTXCONF_GLIBC=y While in the default, there is this: # # gcc libraries # PTXCONF_GCCLIBS=y PTXCONF_GCCLIBS_GCC_S=y PTXCONF_GCCLIBS_CXX=y # PTXCONF_GCCLIBS_GCJ is not set PTXCONF_ICONV=y # PTXCONF_GLOBAL_IPV6 is not set # PTXCONF_KERNEL_HEADER is not set PTXCONF_GLOBAL_LARGE_FILE=y PTXCONF_LIBC=y PTXCONF_LIBC_GLIBC=y # PTXCONF_LIBC_UCLIBC is not set PTXCONF_GLIBC=y I am pretty well convinced that something is enabling the 2.6.39 kernel headers and even you try to return to the previous setup that they are not removed. I am getting close? I will just put back my previous ptxconfig file, which I have fortunately saved :)
