You need only the kernel-devel package for your currently running kernel version. to make sure everything is there run "rpm -qa kernel\*" it should give you the lines as [jeff@eye_gore ~]$ rpm -qa kernel\* kernel-devel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 Once you have verified the 2 packages listed are installed and match the running kernel with "uname -a" then repeat the make step. Note that my listed versions are the current ones for FC3 so yours will be different for FC4. > Patrick >
