Re: driver compile error

That is what I figured where the problem is. But I am a Linux newbie. I have 
no idea where kernel source/header is installed (or whether it is 
installed). I did the linux upgrade from 7.2 to 9.0 and I do not recall any 
prompt to specify installation directory for kernel source/header during the 
upgrade process. Is there anyway I can find out?
Something might be related to this. I only installed the first 3 disc of 
Linux 9.0. I learned somewhere on line that source code is in some 
additional discs. I am not sure whether kernel source code is installed from 
the first 3 discs.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Luke
