Re: problems compiling a kernel.



Hi,
  Install the glibc-devel rpm. It's on the RedHat CD.
BTW, how did you get the 2.2.3 source? bz2/tgz or rpm?
If you unpacked the source inside /usr/src, you might
have some left overs from the old kernel (symlink linux).
Might want to unpack it again and symlink linux to it yourself.
