Kernel compiling

I think i need kernel headers. Can someone specify location from where i can download it for arch linux? I have tried pacman -S kernel-headers.

[root@arch linux-2.6.12.2]# make menuconfig

if you are trying to compile the kernel? how are you doing it at the moment?

tar xvjf linux-2.6.12.2.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.12.2
make menuconfig

So where can i get kernel-headers?

Reinstall glibc.

A kernel compile from a complete tar.gz/bz2 of the kernel includes the kernel headers appropriate.

You have made a configuration error of some sort which is causing the kernel to fail compiling, I suggest you wipe your config and grab the Arch one from abs and *slowly* and *carefully* cull what you dont need, keeping what you arent sure about.

We have solved the problem on MSN. It was filesystem-related - the /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm directories were unreachable. After an fsck.jfs and some rm-ing, then reinstalling glibc fixed it (so was I told).
