Re: make Troubles.

[Jimmy Richards <linuxrh@home.com>]

Hello Rob,


    Not sure what making a symlink of your 'entire' /usr filesystem to
    /usr/src/linux is gonna do, but I think you might be in trouble if
    you go to reboot! I think you really need to get rid of that link.
    It let you make the link because /usr/src/linux did not already
    exist. You need to install the kernel headers package. That should
    put a /usr/src/linux directory in place with the kernel headers that
    your make package is looking for.


Good Luck, and be careful.
