asm or linux include files not found

On older Linux systems, you may have some errors about include files not found in the asm/ or linux/ directory when you try to compile some programs. This means that the kernel source code was not installed. Bot asm/ and linux/ directories are links to the kernel source code.

To install them on your system, you need to get the kernel source code. Then you need to link the directories:

ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm /usr/include/asm

ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux

This will link the 2 directories in the include tree allowing applications to find them.
