From a console with root privileges: yum install kernel-devel Once installation is complete, the files you need will be installed under /usr/src/kernels/. Symbolic links that can be found under /lib/modules/ are used by most build scripts to locate the appropriate files. Note that anything you build against your running kernel will need to be rebuilt and installed again each time your kernel is updated. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx http://n-man.com/ LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/nman64 Have I been helpful?
