I wasn't saying that you should use sudo. I was pointing out that you were wrong in saying that "shouldn't compile using root permissions". The kernel-package documentation is clear; you need "$Get_Root". Whether you choose fakeroot, sudo, su, or log on as root, is a religious-type discussion that you can have with someone who cares about such things. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Fakroot does _not_ "get root". It does not give you any additional powers: that is why it exists. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

As others have pointed out, the difference between fakeroot and the other choices is significant indeed; the latter run code as root, while the former does not.

So does this video driver use an out-of-kernel-source-tree kernel module, like the proprietary nvidia driver does? Are you trying to use module-assistant? Is that why you need the headers (or why you think you need the headers)? -- .''`.
