Kernel headers for 2.6.32-trunk-686?
in [Debian]

From: Jen on 19 Mar 2010 17:50 Hi, My name is Jen, and I'm new to the list. I've been playing with Linux on and off for about a year, but have only recently found a distro that meets my accessibility needs (Debian unstable). It's also a great learning tool :P I need to build some packages from source, and I need kernel headers to do it. I can't find the headers I need, when I try to install them in the conventional way I get the error 'package not found'. An 'apt-cache search' finds nothing. Can someone please tell me where to get the kernel headers for 2.6.32-trunk-686, and how I install them? Thanks in advance.

Can someone please tell me where to get the kernel headers for 2.6.32-trunk-686, and how I install them? The linux headers are in /usr/include/linux, so: apt-file search /usr/include/linux (you might need to install apt-file) - and that reveals they're in linux-libc-dev. You might want to think about installing build-essential, which pulls in the headers and a number of other useful things for building source packages. -- Chris Jackson Shadowcat Systems Ltd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Definitely not Unstable! $ apt-cache search 2.6.32-trunk-686 $ You might want to install linux-image-2.6.32-4-686 (or the -bigmem variant dependent on your RAM size). > Thanks in advance. apt-cache search kernel headers | grep headers | grep 32 So, I'd install linux-image-2.6.32-4-686{-bigmem} and linux-headers-2.6.32-4-686{-bigmem}. -- Obsession with "preserving cultural heritage" is a racist impediment to moral, physical and intellectual progress. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Since you're new, here's a little something to get you started on the right foot, in case you haven't seen this. http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#CodeofConduct In addition to the offical rules, there are a couple of unofficial rules: 1. Don't "top post": use the usenet style of quoting (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_posting) 2. Trim your posts (also covered in the above article) Now, about your original question, the 2.6.32-trunk kernels have recently been obsoleted. You should use the 2.6.32-3 kernels (and their headers) instead. -- .''`.
