----- Original Message ---- From: Francois <frmas@xxxxxxx> To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, July 6, 2007 3:49:03 PM Subject: Kernel source Hi, I used to compile my own kernel, using the source available on kernel.org. With that new computer, where I installed Fedora7, I installed and run the kernel provided with Fedora, not a one of my own. Now I need to compile a driver for my webcam (uvcvideo), and it fails because of the source of the kernel not installed. What do I have to download to get the source ? I saw files like kernel-devel, kernel-doc, kernel-headers, kernel-PAE, kernel-xen, etc... I'm a little bit confused. Another question : it seems that source should be installed under /usr/src/kernels/2.xxxxx, why "kernels/" ? Why not "linux", or linux-2.6.21xxxx Thank you. Francois -- ----- End of Original Message ---- Francois, You probably just need kernel-devel package. # yum install kernel-devel If that is not the case, then you will need full source so you look for the src package. Try the kernel-devel package first, it should meet your requirements. Regards, Antonio ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?
