RE: FC3 Getting Error during compile - modversions.h

Aye Russ,

	Below are some ideas that might help you out or provide you with some 
leads.


	You might have to move the modversion.h to 
/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3/build/include/linux/ or edit the make file to 
point to the source files where modversion.h is located; which might be 
/usr/src/redhat/build/kernel-2.6.spec.

	You might also try a search to see where modversion.h is located because it 
might be part of a separate package though I don't think so.

	You can always open the configure script in an editor, search for "checking 
for Linux kernel sources", try to figure out what the script is looking for, 
and then figure out a way of leading it by the hand to what it needs. It may 
be expecting a symbolic link like /usr/src/linux that points to your actual 
source tree. For instance:

    code:

lrwxrwxr-x  1 root  root    17 Jan 27 13:06 linux -> linux-2.6.5-1.358
drwxrwxr-x  2 root  root  4096 Jan 27 13:06 linux-2.6.5-1.358



I had to do something similar once... some package was dead-set on finding 
the gtk libraries in /usr/lib when I'd installed them to /usr/local. They 
had hard coded the path in the script, so there was no command-line argument 
to override it. A quick edit->save, and I was on my way.

	I hope this gives you some ideas.

Later,
Pruse
