Re: halp?

[Joseph Sacco <jsacco gnome org>]

Dan,

Can you fake it? If by "it" you mean the absence of kernel header files,
the answer is "no".  You will need to install the kernel header files
for your distro.  

I don't believe that the 2.6.16.1 kernel is new enough to support the
recent changes in HAL. 

What to do...

There are choices:
* update your kernel
[I believe 2.6.17.1 will work]

* retreat to the previous versions of hal and dbus.
