Adding New Header Files

[ludi]

Hello,
I am new to linux. I want to use a header file asm/msr.h. But the /usr/include does not contain the header file that I want. Can I just copy the whole asm directory into the directory /usr/include, and overwrite the old one? Thanks in advance.

Here's what's on my thing:

lugo@fido:~$ ls /usr/include/asm
a.out.h      ipcbuf.h     poll.h             shmbuf.h        types.h
auxvec.h     ist.h        posix_types.h      sigcontext.h    ucontext.h
boot.h       kvm.h        posix_types_32.h   sigcontext32.h  unistd.h
bootparam.h  ldt.h        posix_types_64.h   siginfo.h       unistd_32.h
byteorder.h  mce.h        prctl.h            signal.h        unistd_64.h
debugreg.h   mman.h       processor-flags.h  socket.h        vm86.h
e820.h       msgbuf.h     ptrace-abi.h       sockios.h       vsyscall.h
errno.h      msr-index.h  ptrace.h           stat.h
fcntl.h      msr.h        resource.h         statfs.h
ioctl.h      mtrr.h       sembuf.h           termbits.h
ioctls.h     param.h      setup.h            termios.h
lugo@fido:~$

Suggest you do not overwrite anything - you're talking about the computer's bollocks. Just put the file into this directory.
