Ok I checked and as I thought the headers are installed. My problem is that I have to install a link to them and can't figure out what file they are in in order to link to them.

Are the headers for the exact same kernel you are compiling under?

I have been trying to install drivers for a Marvell nic and

an Atheros wireless on my new Toshiba laptop but when I run the install scripts I get the error Kernel Headers not found. If I try to install them RPM it says they are already installed. I have searched the archives but can't find a reference to where they are.

I have loaded FC-9 x86_64, I use it on two other machines

with no problem, on a Toshiba Satellite and the hardware is factory installed on it. I have found the tar balls to get them working if I can just find where the headers are.

Thanks
Dave

# rpm -qa kernel-headers

if they ae installed will return [students@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa kernel-headers

kernel-headers-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i386
[students@localhost ~]$

if they are not present for your running kernel `uname -r`, then you may
# yum install kernel-headers

Yes. Its looking for them under /usr/src/kernel and they don't seem to be there. I was wondering if they might be in a library somewhere else.

Do you have the kernel-devel package? If not, install it. That will give
you additional headers under the /usr/src/kernels tree which are often
required for compiling drivers.
