Hello. A few problems I've encountered on installing the kernel source and headers.
1) If the source is installed first, then the headers, the /usr/src/linux symlink pointer to the headers directory instead of the source directory. Perhaps a modification to the install scripts for these packages could be done: a) If the headers for a particular kernel are installed, then the installation script could see if the source for this kernel is installed. If so, leave the /usr/src/linux symlink pointing at the source directory. Otherwise, make it point at the headers\ directory. 2) Also, if the kernel headers or source is installed, then the /usr/include/linux directory should be a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux. This is most pertinent for compilation and insertion of experimental modules, for if /usr/include/linux is not a symlink as stated, then after the module is compiled, insmod on the module can result in "module compiled under wrong kernel version". To remedy this, it might be a good idea to move the original /usr/include/linux directory to /usr/include/linux.noKernelSource (or something like that) and then make /usr/include/linux a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux whenever the kernel headers or source are installed. The opposite action could take place if all kernel header and source packages are purged. Hope my run-on sentences are understandable. :-) -- Harmon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
