/usr/src/linux-x.x.x/include

Where the x's should be your version number.

Did you look to make sure the directory is there? Are you sure you are typing it in right? (I know, stupid questions, but necessary)

FYI: Everything is case sensitive. That might be an issue...

Maybe it's /usr/local/include ? I dunno, but that would be another place to look.

did you type X's instead of the kernel version number for /usr/src/linux*? look in /usr/src and what's in there? I'm not very well experience with mandrake, but usually stuff is in /usr/src for the kernel sources and such.

yeah, go and do an 'ls -al' in /usr/src/ because i think mandrake has symlinks going on in there. it's possible that the directory might just be called /usr/src/linux/... but best to go and check.

/usr/include/linux ? /usr/src/linux/include is where it usually is

why is it asking you this? did you just install it? are you trying to build some software?
