That will probably be kernel-devel package.  However, on mine it points

/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686/ from the devel package.  So
there is some fun waiting when I try to compile new kernel modules.

ls -al /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Nov  1
12:15 /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build ->
../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586
And this still lists in a flashing red.  I must be missing something
obvious. The 'build' file is definitely there.
I usually delete that link... no need for all the ../../../ stuff.
then I relink:
ln -s /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586 build
which will fix the link/filename 'source' which points to 'build'.
You are using i586 and not i686? Plenty of strangeness going around. I'm
gonna reboot to see if my glibc was the culprit of some of my problems.


OK - done that, but still

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686'

/home/anne/Downloads/gspcav1-20060925/gspca_core.c:36:26: error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory

I've built things in the past and never got this stuck. Am I still missing some package/conf or is it just a brain-fart?

Kernel change? Haven't built against 2.6.18, so I can't say. Did you look at the include line and check that the file is there? Has it moved? Is it no longer the "right way" to get config? Did you need to make clean, or even menuconfig or xconfig?

  Obscure bug of 2004: BASH BUFFER OVERFLOW - if bash is being run by a
normal user and is setuid root, with the "vi" line edit mode selected,
and the character set is "big5," an off-by-one errors occurs during
wildcard (glob) expansion.
