|    Aaron, thanks, that's great, and I'm a lot closer.
|    
|    My next problem is that I can't build code that includes kernel 
|    headers.  This includes code that includes <limits.h>, and 
|    being able 
|    to include limits.h is a basic assumption of tests used by 
|    autoconf, so 
|    ./configure fails.
|    
|    I can't install the kernel headers because a dependency chain 
|    apparently wants to see a kernel in my vserver.
|    
|    My guess is that the dependency isn't real.  Is there a 
|    way to override 
|    the dependency tracking?  (perhaps like equivs for 
|    Debian.)  Or a way 
|    to install vserver-util without the kernel dependency?  Or 
|    glibc-kernheaders that doesn't require vserver-util?  Or a 
|    line to add 
|    to yum.conf to get the right stuff for planetlab?
|    
|    any help would be appreciated.
