Greetings, You can install the kernel source with yum. On SL5, the packages are labeled as:
hendrix> rpm -q -a | grep kernel | grep devel kernel-devel-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5 kernel-devel-2.6.18-238.19.1.el5 kernel-devel-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5 kernel-devel-2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 I imagine it is similar on SL6, so you would do something like: yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r` Good luck, doug > > Deal All, > > I apologize to all of you who find this question trivial.
