[SOLVED] 2.6.32-arch Oss

OSS isn't working on 2.6.32-ARCH for me.
When `/etc/rc.d/oss start` is run as root, the following is produced:

:: Starting Open Sound System                                            [BUSY] Relinking OSS kernel modules for "2.6.32-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload 686 "
This may take few moments - please stand by...

OSS build environment set up for REGPARM kernels


Warning: Cannot locate the Linux kernel development package for
         Linux kernel version  2.6.32-ARCH
         Please install the kernel development package if linking the
         OSS modules fails.

The kernel development package may be called kernel-devel, kernel-smp-devel,
kernel-sources, kernel-headers or something like that. Please refer
to the documentation of your Linux distribution if there are any
difficulties in installing the kernel/driver development environment.

For your Linux distribution the right kernel source package
might be kernel-source.

Building module osscore
Failed to compile OSS
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-ARCH/build M=/usr/lib/oss/build modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32-ARCH/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [default] Error 2

Relinking the OSS kernel modules failed
                                                                         [FAIL]

And so I can't use my audio. Any fix? (Making the /lib/modules/2.6.32-ARCH/build dir gave make an error about "make: *** no rule to make target `module'. Stop.")

EDIT: For some reason, the kernel26-headers package wasn't installed. O_O
Whoops.

is the first time when kernel26-headers are splitted from kernel26. our packages have to be fixed as well by adding to makedepends=(kernel26-headers)

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
