Yes, headers are sufficient, they contain all the necessary header files to compile against the kernel, hence the name. However make is looking for them in /usr/src/linux, but they are not there. You can a) symlink /usr/src/linux/ to your headers /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` b) call KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` make The error message from make explains this well I think. The disadvantage of a is that you need to change your symlink when you change your kernel, or make will succeed, but the module will be for the wrong kernel. The disadvantage of b is remembering to do it everytime. James P.S. when I read your mails they are all on one line making it very difficult to read, and I sometimes give up part way through. It appears my mail server converts from base64 to 8bit before I get them, and this may be the cause. I would appreciate it if you would check your setup to make sure you are sending well formatted mails. -- James Westby [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jameswestby.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
