Can't install NVIDIA_kernel.XXXX.XXXX.src or regular rpm

[noeffort]

I get different messages depending upon the way Im trying to compile or use rpm.

I have mainly tracked it down to the inability for the compiler to reference the file:

/usr/lib/asm/fixmap.h

OhhhhK...

I have searched and searched. Im no dummy, I have a meaningful understanding of how this stuff works, and have compiled before. but if I dont have the right header file, then I dont have it!

Where do I get it?

Or, is there a "safe" workaround. Before I started delving into editing the reference .c's and .h's that point to fixmap.h I figured I better start asking around first.

I have 2.4.18-3 kernel that came with RedHat 7.3

I have removed any attempts to apply packages, updates (had updated to -5 but reverted and uninstalled that kernel)

I'm wondering if I need to reinstall RedHat with the full complement of development tools, libraries and headers (there's a big duh...) But I would like to avoid that if possible.

Anyone got any thoughts?

Have you tried the .tar.gz version?

[noeffort]

Yes sir

:):)

I just booted back into Linux right now after posting cuz i realized I didnt have my error messages, Ill post them now

Pardon, the path/to/includes/ =

/usr/include/linux

however I have down a full search of the entire drive and the gcc is correct is stating it cannot find not only the fixmap.h but the others listed there is the error message output.

[noeffort]

Ok, let me restart :)

First, the autoconf.h only has the one line:
#error Invalid kernel header included in userspace

Second, broken references to headers as noted by error message:
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h:1:2: #error Modules should never use kernel-headers system headers,
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h:2:2: #error but rather headers from an appropriate kernel-source package.
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h:3:2: #error Change -I/usr/src/linux/include (or similar) to
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h:4:2: #error -I/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include

Third, missing header files:
fixmap.h
/usr/include/linux/interrupt.h:44:25: asm/hardirq.h: No such file or directory
/usr/include/linux/interrupt.h:45:25: asm/softirq.h: No such file or directory

etc etc etc...

TIA

Have you installed the kernel source and header rpm's that match your kernel version fron the redhat cd?

[noeffort]

That was what I was wondering in the first original question...

Thinking I need to pop in the CD's and choose a full install of all dev files

Is that what you mean?

Cuz I believe I can "add files" rather than having to wipe out this install, correct?

And just add all package includes for kernel headers and src.rpm headers...

I figure that is what you mean, correct?

Thanks you all for quick replies! I found a new home!!!!

:)

[Bern]

Install the kernel-dev and kdenel-src rpm's that have the same version as your working kernel (check with the command "uname -a"). You can install individual rpm's with the command "rpm -Ivh <file-name>.rpm"

[noeffort]

Thanks Bern...

/shuffles around looking for those darn install discs

:)

[noeffort]

Bern, you were exactly correct.

The libraries needed to be installed, since I went with a light weight (PHP and perl only) dev package, I didnt get the libs for everything else.

Thanks... all running on the first try.

:)

Knew it had to be something that we make say "doy" /smack head!

[saqer]

hi every body,

I have had the same problem.

I have the src kernel installed, but what is the kernel-dev??

[Andy Mecham]

This is covered in the README. You need to install your kernel sources. It's often called kernel-source-VERSION.rpm.

[saqer]

As I said, I have the kernel source already installed
-------------------------------------------------
$ rpm -qa | grep kernel
