The /build > directory is as it was, a file with a question mark on it. The latest kernel is 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6, and that's probably the kernel- devel RPM that got installed. You can check that by doing "rpm -q kernel-devel" as the root user. Verify which kernel you're running (via the "uname -r" command). If it's not the current one (I suspect you're running the older 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 kernel) AND you don't want to upgrade to the current kernel (I recommend you do that unless you have good reasons not to), then you must tell yum to install the kernel-devel RPM that matches it: yum install kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 Yum may refuse to do that since you probably have a later version already installed. In that case, do yum remove kernel-devel* to remove all instances of the kernel-devel RPM, THEN do: yum install kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 to install the older one that matches your kernel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Fear is finding a ".vbs" script in your Inbox - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
