I made the links because that's what the README file for the linux
kernel says to do. As you see:
- make sure your /usr/include/asm, /usr/include/linux, and /usr/include/scsi
directories are just symlinks to the kernel sources:
cd /usr/include
rm -rf asm linux scsi
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 asm
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/scsi scsi
I had thought that I should follow the instructions in the kernel
README, but perhaps the README is just over cautious??
I notice that in Debian, these directories seem to be provided by
the libc6-dev package. Are you saying that providing libc6-dev is kept
reasonably uptodate, these links are not necessary?
Cheers,
Mark.
