Build directory missing (FC6)

[guillefrick]

HI.
I'm trying to install NISTNet network simulator but when I "make" the program, the following error appears:

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/sw/nistnet-3.0a/kernel'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2948.fc6/build M=/home/sw/nistnet-3.0a/kernel V=1
make: Entering an unknown directory
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2948.fc6/build: No such file or directory. Stop.

I have kernel-devel and kernel-headers packages installed but the build directory does not exists.

The directory /lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2948.fc6/build is a link that points to ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.20-1.2948.fc6-i586. Again, build folder is not there.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

You have been hit by the i586 bug: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/F...97983a3822f143
Install the i686 versions of both kernel and kernel-devel, reboot and remove the i586 packages.

Thanks, it works.
Now, I have the following:

kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i586
kernel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.i686
kernel-devel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.i686
kernel-headers-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.i386

But I have another problem now, make can't found "config.h" file under directory /usr/src/kernels/2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.i686/include/linux/config.h

Is this problem caused by my version of kernel-headers? I was trying to update the headers version but I can't.

Could you help me on this?

Thanks a lot

No, the problem is a bug in the program that you are trying to compile. "linux/config.h" has been removed from the latest kernels and modules shouldn't try to include it.

Hello:
Your kernel-headers look fine.
Try
# touch usr/src/kernels/2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.i686/include/linux/config.h

and give it a shot again.

I was trying with an empty config.h file, making a copy of the autoconf.h and also making a copy of the configfs.h and nothing of this works.

Unfortunatelly I have the last version of NISTnet so I will try to follow the code to find the error.

Thanks
