Please read this: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lfs/html/chapter06/kernel.html#AEN2385 Slackware and RedHat (glibc-kernheaders) are doing the right thing. > After that, everything compiled smoothly, providing Christian's fix is > *also* used. I don't really know why it works (since the change isn't > supposed to actually change anything), but I know it did. I haven't looked at this fix yet... but I will when I get the chance. I have a RedHat 9 here I can try. Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
