apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r` libx11-6 libx11-dev x-window-system-core x-window-system xspecs libxtst6 xlibs-dev

can someone tell me way we need Xlibs ?

I installed vmware server bij folowing the howto, but without X .

apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r`  is all i did,

if you run a kernel and there are no kernel-headers available, do this.

download the source kernel, exctact it.

copy the config of the kernel from /boot and rename it to .config  (dotconfig)

compile the kernel like this make-kpkg --append-to-version="Your Kernel version"

for me it was 2.6.17-2-amd64  so the append part is -2-amd64 for me.

and i follewed the howto and its working great. thanx for the howto.

the only part i changed was.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/build/include

i used the default, /usr/src/linux/include

the because thats the place i compile my kernel.
