can't compile kernel 2.6.17 [SOLVED]

Since last major update I receive following error when trying to compile the new Kernel linux-2.6.17-ARCH.
I would like to apply a patch in order to use Parallels with the 2.6.17 kernel.
I have already reinstalled glibc.
I've also noticed /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm directories missing.

Re: can't compile kernel 2.6.17 [SOLVED]

Obvious, and hopefully unnecessary, question - have you got the kernel source from kernel.org? Arch does not install the source.

Re: can't compile kernel 2.6.17 [SOLVED]

No, I tried to compile what I've downloaded with pacman:

/usr/src/linux-2.6.17-ARCH

However, the other kernel sources don't work either:

linux-2.6.16-ARCH
linux-2.6.17-ck
linux-2.6.15-archck

As tomk said, the kernel packages don't contain the source. You'll need to download it from kernel.org.

I get the exact same error message when compiling source from kernel.org

Can you describe what you're doing? I've compiled 2.6.17 a few times here, with no problems.

Re: can't compile kernel 2.6.17 [SOLVED]

sure:

# cd /usr/src
# tar --bzip2 -xvf linux-2.6.17.1.tar.bz2
# rm /usr/src/linux
# ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.17.1 /usr/src/linux
# cd linux
# make menuconfig

I believe this problem exists sich my last update.
Maybe its related to glibc.

Try reinstalling kernel-headers, if you forced a downgrade to 2.3.6 a while ago, the overwritten files aren't reinstalled after upgrading to 2.4 again.

That's it ...
It's working now.
Thanks
