Redhat 8.0 can't install application without source

[wpdavids]

Hello Linux people,

I am having problems installing CISCO's VPN client on my Redhat8.0 installation. During the install the application is looking for the Linux source code directory "/usr/src/linux". This directory is not located on my original installation of Redhat and I do not know where the source code is installed. I setup my system using Redhat's CDs and picked the GUI installation.

If I don't have a source code installation how can I work around this problem?

If there is a source code directory please tell me where to look.

Download the kernel-src RPM from your favorite RPM mirror. //Daniel

That won't help.
Install the kernel sources from your installed
distribution and version in /usr/src. Create a symlink
from this directory to /usr/src/linux.

The reason I say this is that many times the rpm
does much more than install source.
It could easily break things.
