This is what I end up with. Is my symlink going in the correct location or referencing the correct location?

I wonder why your 2.6.22 kernel looks for files belonging to 2.6.17... What's the output of Code: ls -la /usr/src ?

linux is pointing to linux-2.6.17-13mdv/, not linux-2.6.22.3/... Try this: Code: ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.3 /usr/src/linux

probably not. actually, there's probably a ton of things that I haven't installed and should. how do i install rpmbuild and is there documentation on other recommended installs anywhere? for instance important stuff to do in order to install and configure vmware tools.
Mandriva 2007 I dowonloaded Mandriva 2007 version from a FTP site. It was a 64 bit version. I couldn't Stellenangebote install it. Then I bought it by buying a copy of the Linux Magazine. It had some other problems. It didn't recognize the mouse. I send an email to the people who made it. They want people to contact them if there is a problem. They never reply.
Hi Linux is all about the freedom to use different libraries for the same functions. Redhat is big and vast with a lot of the sym links already established. I'm still learning linux. Sorry I can't tell you what the command was that seeks the dependencies for you in a build. I did find an old article that has helped me in the past. See if the link below makes any sense. Good luck!
