Walter,
That output you quote above is somewhat surprising to me. When I
installed it, instead of pointing to /usr/src/linux/include , the default
was pointing to something like /lib/modules/2.4.15-pre1/build/include/
for me. I was a bit surprised by that, but it appears that 'make
modules_install" puts the headers there. I didnt have any other modules,
but I did a 'make modules_install' and things worked out fine for me.
Regards,
Jor-el
