That's more insight than I managed.

It would be interesting to know what created > that. Initially I suggested a kernel-headers-2.4 rpm, because that turned up in the first 'rpm -qf /usr/include/linux' that I tried. So I did 'rpm -e kernel-headers-2.4<whatever>' with a force, but the file remained (not surprisingly). I finally gave up and yanked all the other files off to a temporary location on another partition, then did a reformat (mke2fs) of the /usr partition. Now I've moved everything back to the reformatted /usr, and everything seems more or less sane. Now I must build /usr/include/linux, which I've done by making a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux/, per Yaron's suggestion, and to match another RH7 box here. Andy > Jay
