    I have SuSE 7.1 Personal. I am installing winmodem. I need to recompile
kernel again. Where can I find Kernel header for SuSE7.1? Which directory
contains it?

The usual place /usr/src/linux which is a symlink to the default kernel.  
If you use both 2.2.18 and 2.4.0 I am not sure if that symlink is changed
when you boot to the alternate kernel.  See what it points to or change it
to point to the one you want to use.

You need package lx_suse (or so) installed. The sources (you need the
complete sources, not just the headers) go into /usr/src/linux, which should
be a symlink to the actual directory.

As SuSE7.1 comes with kernel 2.4.0, I would suggest to get the newest
official kernel 2.4.3. It runs just fine with SuSE 7.1. It unpacks to
/usr/src/linux, so remove that symlink before unpacking, otherwise you will
mix stuff up. Rename it to /usr/src/linux-2.4.3 after unpacking and set the
symlink again to that dir. Copy the .config file of you old kernel
configuration.

1. glibc header files or kernel header files?

I have succesfully installed glibc 2.0.3 on my system. Just recently I have
tried to compile kernel 2.0.30 with it. I also added the pc speaker sound
driver and the newer version of ppp. The kernel compiles fine without the
pc speaker and ppp drivers but with it it fails. The cause appears to be that
the header files installed in /usr/include/sys by glibc conflict with the
header files in linu source tree. Which headers should I use.I tried to
use just the headers from glibc (I copyed all the sys/foo.h over the linux
header files) and the kernel wouldn't compile at all. So which should I use.
Thank you for yur time.
