You're right, I should have made more distinction between |
2 |
linux-headers (or linux26-headers), and the headers contained in the |
3 |
source tree for the currently-running kernel. Glibc uses the seperate |
4 |
headers package, while kernel modules like nvidia-kernel make use of |
5 |
the currently running kernel's headers as found in /usr/src/linux. |
