such an error is caysed when gcc can't find a foo.h Standard basic gcc call: add a -I/usr/include/foo (or whatever you installed foo.h to) to the gcc call that compiles a .c into a .o Autoconf call: if you use ./configure try ./configure --with-foo-inc=/usr/include/foo or ./configure --included

Luckily the standard C library is installed, or else all would be broken. However the headers are not necessarily installed. Depends on the type of installation you chose. In general: The libfoo.deb package will contain the libfoo.x.y.so binary files, but not the foo.h headers, since they'll only

Hi! I have this card and I chose the IRQ from the PnP menu in my BIOS. Linux can't soft-modify IRQs, AFAIK. Go to the BIOS Setup and then to the PnP menu. (If your BIOS isn't too old, there is one :) somewhere there is an listing of the devices. Check out the one that says "Multimedia Device"
