Yes, I installed the package linux-source-2.6.27 which is described in Synaptic as "Linux kernel source for version 2.6.27 with Ubuntu patches", so I assume this is the right one for me. And you are right, ls -l reveals it is indeed linked asm -> asm-x86 I did a quick google search for 2.6.27, asm/semaphore.h and found this: http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.6/27/Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt Towards the bottom of that document it says: -What: asm/semaphore.h -When: 2.6.26 -Why: Implementation became generic; users should now include - linux/semaphore.h instead. I guess that means I was actually doing the right thing when I symlinked asm/semaphore.h -> linux/semaphore.h earlier, but that only stopped it from complaining about the missing file, while the other errors persisted. -- Cheers, Brynjar _______________________________________________ pwc mailing list pwc@lists.saillard.org http://lists.saillard.org/mailman/listinfo/pwc
