I need to install the source rpm for kernel-2.4.20.20-9 so that I can build the
Nvidia drivers for several of the computers that I maintain.
rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.10-20.9.src.rpm
looks like it installs the program. However,
rpm -aq | grep kernel kernel-2.4.20-18.9 kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13 kernel-2.4.20-20.9
shows no kernel-source on the system.
I have downloaded kernel-2.4.20-20.9.src.rpm several times. I have tried the installation on several computers, one running 2.4.20-20.9 and one running 2.4.20-18.9.
How do I get the kernel headers that I need to build the Nvidia drivers?
Thanks
You need to download the 'kernel-source' package. The '.src.rpm' file is used to rebuild an RPM package. The .src.rpm you listed above is for an older kernel, anyway, so you want to get the 'kernel-source-2.4.20-20.9.i386.rpm' or the 'kernel-source-2.4.20-18.9.i386.rpm' depending on which kernel you are currently running.
