That's what i understood, for other distros. I think for debian you're supposed to do: ln -s /usr/include/linux/include /usr/src/linux If you *need* the headers in the current kernel, then you add -I/usr/src/linux/include/ to the command line when compiling. http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-kernel.en.html#s-non-debian-kernel I think you need to apt-get the headers, because /usr/include/linux/include doesn't seem to be on my system. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
