Yes. And one of them is kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5.i686.rpm. You have to *install* it by (after cd to that directory): rpm install -ivh kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5.i686.rpm This creates the correct symbolic link in /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5/ > The symlink was created by the rpm build & install process...I did not > create it. > > That symlink is located in /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5 and is a link > to > ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5-i686, as expected. > > The problem is I have nothing named 2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5-i686 in my RPM > build tree to copy to /usr/src/kernels/ You do not manually copy anything. yum install kernel-devel does the job. > I only have BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.i686 This is normal and expected. > uname -r gives me: 2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5 > > I have: > > kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5.i686 "Development package for developing > kernel modules to match the kernel". > > and > > kernel-headers-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5.i386 "Header files for the Linux kernel for > use by glibc" > > installed on my machine. > Is this not the 'kernel-devel' that you refer to? > Or, perhaps I am missing something? Right. You are missing kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5.i686 > Also, thanks for looking at my problem. > I hope I can also help eventually : ) I am sure you will soon. :-) Akemi > -m >
