Can't compile rinetd

[Oscar Miranda]

Hello again,

Since upgrading my kernel (RH) from 2.0.32 to 2.0.35 I have had some
difficulty in compiling apps. The compiler seems to complain that
something or other is "not a directory" and terminates with an error. If
someone could point this would be programmer in the right direction I
would really appreciated. Thanks.

You can try setting up symbolic links to some kernel source tree include
directories. This can be done by

cd /usr/include
ln -sf /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 asm
ln -sf /usr/src/linux/include/scsi
ln -sf /usr/src/linux/include/linux

Exactly as shown.
