I still cannot find any installed linux-headers folder or file after tazpkg says it installed the linux-headers package.

How do I fix it?

Thank you.

in /usr/include/linux ?

I see no headers in /usr/include/linux.

Thank you.

You could download the TazPkg file, decompress it and have a look inside to find out where it goes. The reciept may have some telling details, too.

I though the purpose of linux-headers was to provide an interface of sorts to the kernel source, without having to download all the kernel source code. Building kernel modules etc. take it as read from the definitions, structures etc. (headers) that the functions exist so use them; the compiled kernel then works with that interface connection.*

HIH.

I think mojo's post is an xterm version of seawolf's post.

I do not see any "headers" in the linux-headers file list.

The problem is that I have instructions to make a module using a linux-headers that does not exist, the instruction substituting the slitaz kernel version and extraversion being-

# make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.30.6-slitaz M=agrsm-11c11040-2.1.80~20091225 modules
make: *** /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.30.6-slitaz: No such file or directory.  Stop.

Linux instructions often do not work on slitaz but I cannot find slitaz documentation on how to make slitaz work.

Thank you.

The headers are the hundreds of *.h files. They pair up to the *.c source code files found in linux-source.

Your command should refer to /usr/include or /usr/include/linux for the headers, should it not? Can you run the make command without specifying the path and hope it uses the correct one?

I wonder why slitaz lacks the "linux-headers" directory of the other linux.

I do not know. That is not what the module author's instructions say.

I tried but it did not work.

Thank you.
