linux/timer.h not found

[kdg]

hi,
I want to write a multi-shot timer program, using init_timer(struct timer_list *), add_timer(struct timer_list *) & del_timer(struct timer_list *) system calls. But when I am including the "linux/timer.h" file for this purpose, & compiling the program, it is giving me the following error - "linux/timer.h: No such file or directory"

I did -> locate linux/timer.h, but it is showing nothing. I tried "find / -name 'filename.c', but it is also not giving me the path.

Can any body please help

Did you install development packages? ... Depends on your distribution, you need to install some packages to develop applications, which contains all headers and other stuff.

Hi hugortega,
Can you please tell me which development package(s) I should get installed ??......I have Fedora Core 6 in my machine......is it going to work if I get the latest version of the OS installed in my system ??

I'm not sure about FC6, but look for something like 'kernel-devel' package... also, there is a yum option called packages groups (not sure if this is available on FC6) but you can try:

$ sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
