You didn't follow this thread (e.g. see 2nd quote above). Do not compile your driver against the headers included within the kernel-headers package. Do compile it against the headers included within the kernel-source binary rpm. Since you are running kernel-2.4.18-19.7.xsmp, you want to fetch the package called "kernel-source-2.4.18-19.7.x.i386.rpm". - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+L9aE0iMVcrivHFQRAtj6AJ9Ip0VkV5W3zw3GT+k3zhW9j3IJJACeINI8 s6gd/6ArrwGhADxaN0pMKf4= =8URm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list Redhat-devel-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
