hi, I am working on an application which requires the header file <linux/limits.h>. Which file do I need to rpm from the LinuxPPC 2000 CD-Rom to install kernel source? thanks, Mike ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

Don't do that. Kernel header files are not intended to be directly #include'd into user applications. Use the the GNU C and/or C++ libraries and headers like you're supposed to, and you will not depend on kernel files at all. Tim Seufert ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.

This is correct in the Linus-approved True Linux Userspace (tm). Problem is that on RedHat based systems like linuxppc, glibc doesn't contain /usr/include/linux except as a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux. So you need either kernel sources from some archive or the "kernel-headers" RPM. -- Martin ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
