Andre, You need to find tbe kernel-devel package for 2.6.22.9-desktop-mdk You may find it here: http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/Development_Kernel.html Be careful with getting another one that does not match the one you are running: 2.6.22.9-desktop586-1mdv http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandriva/2008.0/i586/media/main/release/kernel-desktop-devel-latest-2.6.22.9-1mdv2008.0.i586.html which shows the page: To get the needed package click following link: ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandriva/official/2008.0/i586//media/main/release/kernel-desktop-devel-latest-2.6.22.9-1mdv2008.0.i586.rpm Do download it and install that package unless you have cd/dvd with kernel sources from which you may mount it and copy/perform its installation. After installing this package the rest of the compilation should work. Sorry for not getting back sooner, but I was not comprehending everything that was going on.
