YALQ (yet another linux question) location of c header files?

[Davegod75]

I'm installing a program and it says it needs to know the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernal.

Anyone know where that location would be?

I'm running Mandrake 10.0

thanks

It's in /usr/src/linux<kernel version>. You'll have to install the kernel-source RPM to get that. That's a hefty download BTW.

cool....what's the command to see what kernal i'm running?

uname -a

I believe, although I just normally cat /proc/version or something close to that. I dont have access to my Linux box or I would double check.

Both are the same

Is there no rpm for what you're installing? When in doubt, don't compile, use an rpm.
