    Fedora Core 5 kernel source code



    I am trying to install the cisco vpn software from my school and during installation it asks for the "directory containing linux kernel source code." I cannot figure out what directory this is in FC5. More specifically it says it needs the kernel headers for the version of the kernal I am using. It hints that in Redhat 7.x they are in /usr/src/linux-...
    I have tried /usr/src/redhat and many others but all return the error:
    ***No rule to make target 'modules'. Stop

    Anyone know what directory I need or how to defeat this? Thanks.

    I was having the same problem as you installing the cisco vpn client on FC5. Try kernel-devel instead of kerenel-sources for the "yum install" command. Then when I ran the installation, it was able to auto-detect the source directory. Unfortunately, I had other compilation problems with the vpn install. You might want to check out http://www.victortrac.com/cisco_vpn_patch if you were able to get the kernel source but had compilation errors.

    Lightbulb source code

    I was dealing with a similar issue this morning and read the the FC 5 does not ship with the source code on its CDs.

    I went the the website and was able to download the source and install it using the rpm command. Here is a link that walks you through it for FC4 and it seemed to work fine for me for FC5:
    http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc4.html
    at the bottom of the above link it walks you through the commands needed.

    And this link got me to the source code I needed for the core:
    http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu.../linux/core/5/

    Hope that helps.
