I have a box w/ 2.2r2 installed w/ stock 2.2.14 kernel.  I download the
cipe.tar and unzipped.  Ran ./configure and got the message that there is
no suitable configured kernel include tree found.

What does that mean?

Do i need to install a kernel-image from deselect or comiple my own kernel in 
/usr/src?

Sorry about the repeated emails.  Hard to get support on these issues.

Nick
