Installing a Linux kernel source tree

[psychopath]

I'm trying to get DRI-accelerated Mesa installed on my Mandriva 2006 system. The only thing I have left to do, is build the DRM library files which requires me to have a configured kernel source tree. My distro didn't come with the kernel source, which would mean I have to download, install and configure it myself.

My question is, where and what am I supposed to download? (my distro is running on Kernel 2.6)

well since your running mandriva chances are you have to get their source tree (for your build,), if it turns out you don't (very slim chance), take a look at http://www.kernel.org/

edit:
looks like you will need <your version>mdk kernel-source rpm

Typically distro's come with a "dev-tools" package which would include things like kernel source. If you still have your mandriva cd's you can probably find it there.

Mandriva does have the kernel sources package, use urpmi to install them:

urmpi kernel-source-2.6.12-18mdk

after of course you use su

Ok, thanks. I built the DRM files, and moved them to their proper location.

One more question though. After all this, the OpenGL and XServer information programs don't crash anymore, meaning everything (Mesa and DRM) seems to have installed OK. However, when I try and run my engine with WINE, it tells me it can't find libGL.so, and other lib files, even though I know that I have them (in several different lib directories, just to make sure all programs can find them). Also, when I try to compile the demos that come with Mesa, it tells me it cant find the glut library (which is in /usr/X11R6/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib64 with all the other Mesa lib files). Whats going on there?

Nevermind, problem(s) solved.
