paleo Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 hi all, I've been trying to compile glibc2.3.2 on my mdk9.1 installation (just for fun and learning). I realized that I had to replace the kernel headers in /usr/include with the ones from /usr/src/linux-2.6.4/include in order to get the compile to finish when using the option --with-kernel-2.6.4 (I still have problems but that's a different topic). My question is this. Why are there kernel headers in /usr/include or rather, why is it that most programs as far as I know look for the kernel headers in /usr/src/linux/include when there are kernel headers in /usr/include? and why leave ancient headers in /usr/include when most programs don't look there for the kernel headers anyway? Should I expect compilation problems now that I've replaced them? thanks for any input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
