[wplug] compilation question

[Procario, Michael]

Yes, you probably need the header files. There should be a rpm of kernel
source files on your CD. I do not remember if Redhat splits the source and
header files. Some distros do so you can just install the headers, which is
all you need to compile non-kernel programs.

Subject: [wplug] compilation question


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
