This depends on whether you're talking about a module to load into the current kernel or a user program which happens to needs constants or such from the kernel source code. In particular, the header files in /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm should be from the version of the kernel that your glibc was compiled against. Linus explained it on the kernel mailing list awhile ago and it ended up being a FAQ: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lfs/LFS/chapter05/kernel.html "5.14.3. Why we copy the kernel headers and don't symlink them" Cheers, J. -- Jan Schmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Have you been half-asleep? Have you heard voices?
