Re: new EMC release / rtlinux-2.2 problem

Hi Will,

Thanks for the reply.  Madrake 7 which was my starting point, is already
based on the 2.2.14 kernel. To go to RTLinux, I downloaded the
rtlinux-2.2-prepatched.tar.gz file into my /usr/src directory and unzipped
it with gzip -cd rtlinux-2.2-prepatched.tar.gz | tar xvf - . This created a
new directory called rtlinux-2.2 within /usr/src. In this directory there
are sub-directories called /linux and /include but there does not seem to be
one called /include/linux as the third of your ls -ld commands seems to
require.
As I said before, looking at the /usr/src/linux directory using kfile, I can
see a link called 'linux' which, if I click on it, shows me the contents of
the /usr/src/rtlinux-2.2 directory but this link doesn't show up when I use
the second of your ls -ld commands - ls -ld /usr/src/linux. Should this link
file (linux) actually be in the /usr/src directory itself rather than in a
/linux sub-directory within /usr/src?

I also tried the 2.2a prepatched kernel in case it was a bad download but I
got exactly the same errors.
Thanks,

Ian
