Re: install the driver in etch but couldn't find the directory /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/build
Hi Kushal Thank you so much What is the different linux-headers-2.6.18-4-686 and linux-headers-2.6.18-4-686-bigmem - Header files for Linux 2.6.18 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4 ? ls it related to the memory? If my machine has 4G memory, which one should I use? I only want to have stable/reliable one. ls the first one better than the second one? how about apt-file? I don't have idea how I can use?

From the description of the linux-image-2.6.18-4-686-bigmem package: This package provides the binary image and pre-built loadable modules for Linux kernel 2.6.18 on Pentium Pro/Celeron/Pentium II/Pentium III/Pentium 4 with 4-64G RAM machines. You should use the linux-headers corresponding to the kernel package that you use. If my machine has 4G memory, which one should I use? I only want to have stable/reliable one. ls the first one better than the second one? The non-bigmem kernel works with upto 4G of memory. I don't know if there's any advantage in using the bigmem kernel if you have 4G. AFAIK, the non-bigmem kernel is compiled with the HIGMEM4G option, and the bigmem kernel is compiled with HIGHMEM64G option, but I don't have an i386 machine available to check right now. how about apt-file? I don't have idea how I can use? Install the apt-file package: aptitude install apt-file Make it update its file lists: apt-file update Search away: apt-file search /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-build Thank you again Kushal Kumaran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, Jun 14, 2007 at 04:04:49PM -0400, chloe K wrote: Hi all I try to install the driver but got the message make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/build: No such file or directory.

The build directory is a symlink that is installed if the source is available. If the source is not available then the kernel deb postinst script removes the symlink. There are ways to override this behavior but generally it all works and does the right thing. However installing the linux-source-2.6.18 simply downloads and installs the /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18.tar.bz2 file. It does not do anything else such as unpacking it. Therefore it is not the same as installing the linux-headers and does not create the build symlink. You would need to do that yourself if it is needed. Setting up linux-source-2.6.18 (2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2) Simplest is to install the linux kernel headers. The linux-headers package will recreate the build symlink automatically in its post install script. sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
