Interestinghtat I get this...
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/include
The path "/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/include" is an existing directory, but
it
does not contain at least one of these directories "linux", "asm", "net" as
expected.
It's interesting because the /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/include *does*
contain a 'linux' directory...
