I've did a little searching and reading on the forums, and I gathered that all I needed to do to compile kernel modules and such was to install the kernel headers, which I have done. But, I get this error:
make: *** /usr/src/linux: No such file or directory. Stop.
Do I need to do that EXTRAVERSION stuff, too? Or maybe just make a symbolic link or something?
Jim

If you installed the source from XN like I did you will find it in /usr/src as a zipped file mine is dcc-kernel-source-2.6.18.tar.bz2 you need to open this with ark and unzip it to /usr/src.
You may have to create a link from whatever folder it creates to /usr/src/linux I haven't unzipped mine yet.

Have you tried to install dcc-kernel-headers-2.6.18-dcc-smp (I assume you have the SMP kernel installed) ?
If not, do that. It can save you a lot of headaches. Otherwise if you prefer to install the kernel sources, as TekMate said you have to create a link in /usr/src called "linux" like this
cd /usr/src
ln -s dcc-kernel-source-2.6.18 linux |

Yes, that's why I'm asking about this. From my reading on this forums, I gathered that it was no longer necessary to install the kernel source, just the headers. I installed the headers, but I get the message above, which is why I am asking.
Since just installing the headers is not sufficient, I guess I'll install the kernel source and make the symbolic link next. I had been led to believe this was not necessary.

It would depend on how the program you are compiling was written.

Ah, so perhaps programs written to the new standard need only the headers, and this one was written to an older standard, and still requires the entire kernel source? Something like that?

I don't know about new verses old but if your program calls a function that needs the kernel source you will need to have it installed.

From what I know, a properly written kernel module should have a build system looking for headers in /lib/modules/2.6.18-dcc-smp/build (which is a link to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-dcc-smp or perhaps /usr/src/linux) and never directly look at /usr/src/linux.
Now, the building practice may vary a bit between major kernel version steppings, so perhaps you are right i.e. your kernel module was written for an older kernel or its building system is simply buggy. |

Now is that part of the LSB or a Xandros/Debian thing?

What module are you trying to build, if I may ask?

No, its a linux kernel thing. |

It's called realtime, and it is used to give certain users and processes realtime access to the computer's resources. I have a sound card that has 8 audio inputs, 10 audio outputs, plus S/PDIF and MIDI inputs and outputs. I don't have to get very much of that stuff going to get audio skips, especially if I am using the JACK Audio Connection Kit.
Assuming I get that module built, I am going to take a crack at building qc-usb, a module for the QuickCam web-cam. I don't have a webcam, but someone else on the forums was needing it.
