It's a source of confusion, leading to mistakes.
Look at this the other way too: why should you?

So, I'm sorta following you here. However, I never
touched /usr/include/linux. Its not linked at all
to /usr/src/linux.
Futhermore, I don't exactly understand the problem
why one shouldn't have a /usr/src/linux directory.
I mean, after all, when I installed the kernel-source
package, it dumps
Just wanted to say thanks for your advice. Even
though I kept my current kernel source in
/usr/src/linux, your e-mail did provide me a clue
with what was wrong. Turns out the files in
/usr/include/linux were messed up on my machine. I
blame it on the poor upgrade from the Woody CD-ROM.
I re-insta

You should not have a /usr/src/linux directory. You might put
something there to help you avoid temptation:

First of all, why would you have one special copy of the kernel
source? It's OK to have 42 copies or none at all. Givin

The usual junk: some people mistakenly think that /usr/include/linux
is supposed to contain a link into /usr/src/linux and that that is
supposed to be source code for the kernel you are running.
Reality:
The /usr/include/linux files are derived from kernel source when
the glibc package is created
So I'm trying to used the MOL 0.9.61-6 which was
provided with the Woody CD. Since I'm using kernel
2.2.20-pmac supplied with Woody and the Woody's
mol-modules were compiled with
2.2.19, I had to recompile from the modules from the source.
