Hi Guys

 I am new to this list but a similar problem came up at the asterisk training 
course I attended last week. When the linux kernel sources are freshly 
installed, the symbolic links for the kernel header files are not properly 
set up. All you have to do is type:

         make prepare

in /usr/src/linux to set this all up. You do not have to compile the kernel or 
anything else. I do not know whether this works for the 2.4 kernel but it 
does work on Fedora 2 and SuSe 9.1 and later.
