It seems to me that you do not have glibc-devel or any other name it can have on your distro. It's very likely that after that you will be missing a few other development packages, but you'll quickly find them one at a time. (...) > On many forums it said I need to have 2.4 kernel headers.

They are *very* likely to break during build with nasty errors. You'd better get the official releases in tar.bz2 form which are know to build and work for most people. > Is there something similar for getting kernel headers? Please help. not to my knowledge.
