[mobrien@hariel ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/include/bits/socket.h
glibc-headers-2.3.6-3


Do you have your glibc headers installed?

Try running this:
Code: [Select]
CFLAGS="-I/usr/src/linux-2.6.16/include/" make menuconfig

BTW, I have the same glibc on Ubuntu and I compiled 2.6.17 yesterday (it has alot of cool new stuff, including a driver for Airport Extreme). If you're using menuconfig you'll need to have the ncurses5-dev package installed too.

If, like me, you need some non-standard kernel modules e.g. for your wireless card, you'll need to compile/install them yourself when you boot up into your new kernel. The Debian ones won't work.

Also, make sure you have got the libc6-dev installed, looks like you might be missing it

Crap, now I'm getting errors with apt.

After running the cflags, then I try make menuconfig.

is libc6-dev installed?
the connection refused errors could be temporary problems on the server-side..

libc6-dev is at the latest version.

Damn it, all this just for the nVidia drivers.  But it says there's no kernel interface for my kernel, it needed the 2.6.8 source, I downloaded that and it said it needed to be configured.  Tried configuring it, that didn't work.

Doesn't it work with linux-kernel-headers installed?

If you need the source code I think it looks for it in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source - which you should setup to be a symlink to the kernel source directory.
Code: [Select]
ln -s /path/to/kernel/sourcecode /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source

In fact I think you might want to look into the linux-restricted-modules package...

Well I recently compiled my own kernel, but it was pretty easy cuz I used an src.rpm version ... all I had to do is

rpmbuild --rebuild kernel-version###-src.rpm

or if you need to make changes (like I had to) you could make an rpm out of a tgz of the kernel with:

rpmbuild -ta --target=i686 kernel-version####.tar.gz

of course you may need a spec file for it unless you get an rpm version of it and extract it, then repackage it as tgz
