Q

Thanks for your help.  Found glibc-devel on the Yellow Dog CD and installed.
Now C (and C++) work OK.   I also found the kernel-source on the CD and, not
knowing what to do with it, copied to /root.  Now the rebuild almost
completes but I get the following:

checking for kernel headers... /usr/src/linux/include
configure: error: The kernel headers directory /usr/src/linux/include does
not exist.
      Set the KHEADERS path to the kernel headers directory.
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.56828 (%build)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.56828 (%build)


Thanks again for your help.
