How come when I perform the make mrproper command I get something like auc: cmd. line 2: fatal, cannot open file /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/include/linux/version.h: for reading, no such file or directory I made a symlink to /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 by typing ln -s linux linux-2.6.10 in the /usr/src directory. The symlink seems to be working fine bc I was able to run checkout and patch the tree with Speakup successfully.
