But don't snort too loud. The 'idea' of glibc kernel headers is a new fangled animal. Col 2.x series for instance would not have such a beast, the new, eW3.1 will. What a distro chooses to call it is god-knows. In rh, "kernel-headers" are not kernel headers in the literal sense, they are headers for glibc. The point being, you _cannot_ compile a kernel without the compiler having 'a set' of kernel headers to work with. They must be located in /usr/include-> and are glibc compile specific, not new kernel specific. They don't have *anything* to do with the current kernel, nor the kernel about to be compiled. Even though, the files themsevles _might_ be identical. -- http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
