linux-headers not found

Hello,

I want to install the headers for my kernel but I can not find them. This is what I get:

Quote:

/home/jorge# uname -r
2.6.23.16-20080211a

I have been googling a lot but no results. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks.

Thanks for the reply,

What will I achive installing 'linux-kernel-headers'?

Is it a kind of generic package?

Excuse me to ask you before I try but I am having this trouble in a remote server and I want to be sure what I do before playing with the kernel and break the system.

Thanks in advance.

Re: linux-headers not found

The usual is:

apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

If apt-get says a package doesn't exist then there's not much you can do except to get the source for that kernel and actually build it using the settings in /boot/config-$(uname -r)
