Hello Spiro,

I think you meant that *me* misses the linux-headers-2.6.20 package :)

Again me and not you :)

I compiled the kernel on my own. This is the content of the tree at 
/usr/src/linux/:
c65:/usr/src# ll
total 82932

linux-source-2.6.20.tar.bz2
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root     4096 2004-02-13 19:16 modules

I compiled the kernel on July 2007 this way: after installing the 
package linux-source-2.6.20, I unpacked its linux-source-2.6.20.tar.bz2 
into /usr/src, then I created the 'linux' symbol link to it, and after 
having configured the kernel i built it (and installed).

Here there is the content of it:
c65:/usr/src/linux# ls
arch     crypto         init    MAINTAINERS     README          System.map
block    Documentation  ipc     Makefile        REPORTING-BUGS  usr
config   drivers        Kbuild  mm              scripts 
version.Debian
COPYING  fs             kernel  Module.symvers  security        vmlinux
CREDITS  include        lib     net             sound

Here should there be the include files:

c65:/usr/src/linux/include# ls
acpi       asm-frv      asm-m68knommu  asm-sh64     config    mtd     video
asm        asm-generic  asm-mips       asm-sparc    crypto    net
asm-alpha  asm-h8300    asm-parisc     asm-sparc64  Kbuild    pcmcia
asm-arm    asm-i386     asm-powerpc    asm-um       keys      rdma
asm-arm26  asm-ia64     asm-ppc        asm-v850     linux     rxrpc
asm-avr32  asm-m32r     asm-s390       asm-x86_64   math-emu  scsi
asm-cris   asm-m68k     asm-sh         asm-xtensa   media     sound
c65:/usr/src/linux/include#

which are about 41Mb

c65:/usr/src/linux# du -hs include
41M     include

Now, i cannot understand why the headers file i built my kernel with are 
not the ones in the /usr/src/linux/include directory (which from my 
point of view are the headers of the kernel i compiled).

Anyway, i installed the linux-header package you suggested to me:

c65:/usr/src# dpkg -l | grep linux-header
ii  linux-headers-2.6.20-1               2.6.20-2 
Common header files for Linux 2.6.20
ii  linux-headers-2.6.20-1-686           2.6.20-2 
Header files for Linux 2.6.20 on PPro/Celero
ii  linux-headers-2.6.20-1-686-bigmem    2.6.20-2 
Header files for Linux 2.6.20 on PPro/Celero

After having installed the package linux-headers-2.6.20-1 i still get 
the same error, ie:

luca@c65:~/opencbm/cbm4win$ make -f LINUX/Makefile
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/luca/opencbm/cbm4win/sys/linux'
ln -s LINUX/Makefile Makefile

make: Leaving an unknown directory
make[1]: *** [cbm.o] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/luca/opencbm/cbm4win/sys/linux'

Any help?
