It's a hack and I've used it with VMware and it just points up the fact that <linux/config.h> is no longer necessary. An empty file serves the purpose just fine. The owners of the package you are trying to build should remove the "#include <linux/config.h>" from their sources entirely. Which you can do as well, if you prefer. It doesn't do anything, any longer, but it doesn't harm anything. It's just vestigial cruft now. > -- Garrett Mitchener Mike -- Michael H.
