[wplug] compilation question

[Doug Green]

Hi all-
I have a general question about compiling new packages. I have RH7.1
installed in a laptop, I used the "default" laptop installation with
pcmcia support. Here is the question:

Can I compile packages from a tar file even though kernel sources were
not installed? The toplevel Makefile suggests that I need to point it at
the kernel sources... I am trying to install afpfs (the flipside of
netatalk) and there is no rpm available. 

Thanks for any help/comments/suggestions!

Doug
