If you recompiled the kernel as you have stated. Simply type this command: ls /boot/kern* if you can see anything along the lines of kernel.h or kernel.h-(kernel version). There you will find your kernel headers alla no kernel header rpm. Thus, hopefully that will shed some light on the concept of the revised kernel-header-rpm-with-the-glibc -marriage concept. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Altoine B Maximum Time Unlimited Chicago Based and Operated ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Good day for a change of scene.
