hi all, I hope this question is directed to the correct group and not too redundant. I checked the list archives and the policy manual before mailing this off. What i would like is for someone to point me towards a good source of information about what headers i need on my system, where they should be, what should be in /usr/local/include, how the kernel tree includes fit in the picture and anything else related to the topic that i haven't asked, (because i don't know enough to ask them yet:) I have a rudminentary understand of programming in C and the process of compilation and linking. I understand why i need headers, i am just not sure what my system expects where. I appreciate everyone time, thanks very much.
jereme post: as i said, i am looking for general information but the specific situation that prompted this note arose while running the configure script that came with cipe-1.4.2 I got this error: checking for kernel include tree... configure: error: no suitable configured kernel include tree found it seems to be a very clear error message, i just do not have the knowledge of what should be where. ./configure --help shows --includedir=DIR C header files in DIR [PREFIX/include] and PREFIX is /usr/local thanks again
