Re: At configure: No such file or directory

Your kernel source isnt setup right.  You probably want to recompile your own 
kernel anyways, so grab the latest kernel tarball (2.2.19), maybe some 
security patches (www.openwall.com), untar into /usr/src, mv linux to 
linux-2.2.19, symlink 2.2.19 to linux, cd linux, make mrproper, make 
menuconfig, make deps, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install, cp 
arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/2219, edit lilo.conf, run lilo,  and reboot.

Or, you can just reinstall the linux includes RPM from Red Hat, but thats the 
wimpy way to do it ;)
