Hi,

I downloaded the best suitable alsa driver for my RH 7.3 and
started ./configure. It ran well a while but stopped with the
error message:

"/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/build/include/linux/version.h does not exist"
and suggested
to "install the full blown linux kernel source".
So I looked at my RH cd's and found a lot on "*kernel*.rpm"'s. Which
do I need to install to get this fixed?

Thanks,

NoKo

Before you install the kernel-source package, do you have the
kernel-headers installed? I think redhat put them in the
glibc-headers package, or something like that, at one time.

You need the kernel source code found in SRPMS directory/folder.

But that only gives me patch files no source code.

I did not install any kernel source files.
Where should i look to find the kernel include files. I looked at all
build-directories
and apparently they all are empty.

Do you have the kernel-headers installed?
RedHat, at one time, put them in the glibc-headers package other
distros make a seperate package for the kernel-headers.

Without the kernel-headers installed you will find it difficult
to compile most if not all packages.

BTW the kernel headers for RH-7.3 are in the glibc-headers
package on the install disc2.

Thanks, found kernel header installed in /usr/include/linux.

But kernel source is not on the Source code CD's but on the install cd's. So
I'll give this a try.
