Compiling a module outside kernel

[Robert M. Albrecht]

Hi,

thanks for your fast reply.

Yes, kernel-devel is installed:

[root at localhost ~]# rpm --query kernel-devel
kernel-devel-2.6.25-8.fc9.i686
[root at localhost ~]# uname --all
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.25-8.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Wed Apr 23 03:56:19 
EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root at localhost ~]#
