 |

During the install, I chose a 2.6 kernel.
uname -a
| Code: | | Linux gimp 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 #3 Fri Feb 18 10:25:47 AST 2005 i686 Celeron (Coppermine) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |
Yet, when I did an emerge --update --deep --ask world this morning, I was told :
| Code: | | [ebuild U ] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.22-r1 [2.4.21-r1] |
And upon further investigation, using equery b /usr/include/linux/kernel.h
| Code: | | sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.21-r1 (/usr/include/linux/kernel.h) |
Now, I am a bit confused here. Shouldn't future applications be compiling against my 2.6 kernel? I am considering emerge --unmerge linux-headers, and then soft linking /usr/source/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux.
So, what exactly is going on here; why do I have 2 versions of the kernel headers floating around? I'd like to only have to deal with the 2.6 kernel, which is what I chose when I originally installed. |

Just emerge -C linux-headers and emerge linux26-headers.
Do not mess with symlinks between /usr/src/linux/* and /usr/include/linux, unless you have a habit of breaking your system. 
If you are like most people, there is no need to insist on having everything compile against linux 2.6 headers. |
