To clarify, I'm only refering to _B_lfs, not _L_fs. Blfs (both the current stable and development version) says the following under the installation instructions for cdrtools (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/multimedia/cdrtools.html):
# Begin quote Installation of Cdrtools will fail if raw kernel headers are found in /usr/src/linux either as actual files or a symlink. As of the Linux 2.6 kernel series, this directory should no longer exist because appropriate headers were installed in the linux-libc-headers package during the base LFS installation. # End quote I interpret this, perhaps wrongly, as meaning that the appropriate headers were installed with the linux-libc-headers package--not the headers from the linux-2.6.xx package. Based on such an interpretation, I suspected that other sections of the blfs book that I have not yet read may contain similar notes; that was my only motive of the original post--to say, "hey, we might not need to install the linux-libc-headers package anymore." In short: If nothing in the blfs books say anything about needing linux-libc-headers you may disregard everything I've written on this subject--I'm simply misreading something.
