Hi Anuz, It works perfectly fine for me. My local machine looks like: # cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 11 (Leonidas) # uname -a Linux kratos 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Nov 3 23:41:33 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I have 2.6.22 kernel source on this machine I did: # make mrproper # make headers_check # make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dest headers_install All steps work fine. Can you please provide the error log that you are getting? If you are getting an error "scripts/unifdef.c:209: error: conflicting types for 'getline'", you need to apply the following patch: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11166/ This will fix the issue. HTH.
