Hi,
My name is Jen, and I'm new to the list. I've been playing with Linux on and
off for about a year, but have only recently found a distro that meets my
accessibility needs (Debian unstable). It's also a great learning tool :P
I need to build some packages from source, and I need kernel headers to do it.
I can't find the headers I need, when I try to install them in the conventional
way I get the error 'package not found'.
An 'apt-cache search' finds nothing. Can someone please tell me where to get
the kernel headers for 2.6.32-trunk-686, and how I install them?
The linux headers are in /usr/include/linux, so:
apt-file search /usr/include/linux
(you might need to install apt-file) - and that reveals they're in
linux-libc-dev.
You might want to think about installing build-essential, which pulls in
the headers and a number of other useful things for building source
packages.
