    Where are the C header files in Linux?



    I am installing an application on the server, and it wants to compile some modules. I get this question:

    What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
    kernel?

    Is there some standard answer to that?

    /usr/src/linux/include seems not to be correct.

    Should be /usr/src/linux{VERSION}. On some distros it /usr/src/kernels/kernel{VERSION}. You need to have the kernel-source package that matches the same version of the kernel you are running on your system.

    Thank you.
    I installed the kernel-source from the Debian DVD via synaptic package installer and found it at /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-6-amd64/include

    It worked
