Charles Maybe so... but unfortunately, it doesn't work when building AFS. The probram there can't find the headers. Period. Can on RH can on SuSe can on Gentoo.... but not mandrake. I have the following.
kernel-source-2.4.18-6mdk kernel-headers-2.4.18-25mdk kernel-2.4.18.6mdk-1-1mdk and glibc is glibc-devel-2.2.4-25mdk glibc-profile-2.2.4-25mdk glibc-2.2.4-25mdk glibc_lsb-devel-2.2.90-4mdk glibc_lsb-2.2.90-4mdk The error in compiling is that 2.4.18-6 doesn't match 2.4.18-25..... hence the problem... Now if headers are in glibc and I upgrade to say a 2.6 kernel I'll really be out of whack because I can't go to a glibc Higher since they are all now built with gcc 3.0 not 2.96 (short of re-installing the entire OS) ..... I understand the logic .... however any logical conclusion begins with a premise... and all premises do reach an end. The problem is compatibility. When Linux was pre-mainstream it wasn't as big an issue because it had little effect. But when companies start basing their entire company's data structure on Linux it's an unbelievably important one. Why else would there still be companies running 35 year old Cobol programs....? Lack of a way to upgrade.
