I constantly have to dig up header files that aren't in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ such as SCSI headers. sd.h scsi_mod.h hosts.h etc.... I have to pull them from a sourcecode or src.rpm in order to build my 3rd party module. Having the matching sourcecode rpm helped, although I can get around that. I'm more interested in educating my vendors so that I don't have to dig this stuff up. - -- Jesse Keating RHCE (http://geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (http://www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (http://geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
