Installing Kernel Source

[pilgie]

Hi,

I am trying to install Asterisk on Fedora Core 4 but recieve the following error when running 'make':

You do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp kernel installed.

How do I go about installing the kernel source? where does it have to go etc.

I am a little new to linux so excuse my stupidity....)

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Luke.

There should be an RPM of the kernel source, for example kernel-source-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp, which you should be able to install from the same place you obtained the kernel itself.

best I could find for a source was kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 RPM for i686
from: ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/4/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i686.rpm

Yep, that's the correct one.

Sorry forgot to say that after that try:

rpm -Ivh kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i686.rpm

and everything should end up where it should be. Just make sure there is a simlink /usr/src/linux that points to the real source folder (usually something like /usr/src/linux-smp-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4) with the ls command (ls -l /usr/src/linux)

I too get the same error message as above. I have tried lots of things to try and load the source files but each time it still says the same error. If I try to install it it appears to install fine, yet if I rpm -q to check, it says it is not installed.

I am getting so frustrated I am thinking of rebuilding into enterprise instead, only because I know that we have existing servers running on that OS

Err, oops, I just realised it's the wrong RPM... that is for the SMP kernel, not the kernel source... why did't I spot that the first time? You need an RPM called kernel-source-....rpm.

For asterisk I think that you do not need kernel-source. kernel-devel rpm (rpm containing your kernel headers) should be enough.
