[SOLVED] Installing Dummynet in Mandriva Linux!

[abhishek2301]

Hello,

I am trying to install Dummynet in Mandriva 2010. When I tried to build, it gave the following error:

************************************************** *************************************
# make
echo target is all
target is all
(cd ipfw && make all )
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/dummynet/ipfw3/ipfw'

echo "Done build for Linux VER "

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/dummynet/ipfw3/ipfw'
(cd dummynet2 && make all )

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/dummynet/ipfw3/dummynet2'
make: *** [all] Error 2

************************************************** *************************************

Then I found that some packages are required to be installed. One of the required package libncurses5 is already installed. But it seems it also requires the linux-headers since it is required to build as he previous make was searching for path
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build.

I would like to know how to solve this problem. I tried to find the required linux-headers through rpmdrake (visual tool) but was not able to locate.
I need to install from a CD since there is no internet connection in the machine.

Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks!

You need the kernel-devel package. In your case it should be kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.31.5-1mnb
