RPM's versus SRPM's 

Forum: PCMCIA Installation and Configuration Issues
Re: Question: Kernel source tree from RPMs (Peter Townsend)

You want to install the kernel-source RPM, not Red Hat's SRPM for the kernel. That's somewhat nonintuitive... the kernel-source RPM puts the plain kernel source tree in /usr/src/linux, but an SRPM is a special thing just for creating RPM's, and it puts the kernel source tree (plus various other things) in unusual places. -- Dave

Question: additional info Re: RPM's versus SRPM's (David Hinds) Date: 1999, Nov 29 From: Peter Townsend Pete

Thanks, I figured that one out last night. I installed the kernel-source....rpm file and did a 'make dep'. I walked out and noticed a few errors (don't have them now). Despite the errors, I tried to build the rangeland drivers for a wireless symphony card (PCMCIA). This driver needs the PCMCIA header files. I believe the make dep produced most but the 'config.h' is still elusive. I see a config.h link to '../pcmcia' in the '/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.0.14/include/linux' directory. Howeverthere isn't a config.h file in ''/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.0.14/include/pcmcia' directory. I'm lost! Any suggestions how to proceed would be appreciated!
