I don't know what package they come from, but I would try uninstalling and re-installing the gcc compiler first.

As David said, Linux kernel headers. But why would you reinstall GCC? That seems a bit random to me.

Hi,

from several days I've been seeing certain message error at compiling, and I don't know how on earth it means. In a first moment I thought it was something about kernel, but if so I cannot understand what has to do aMule, for instance, with kernel or even a mpd client I'm trying to compile.

Please, tell me how can I solve this. The message is this: "/usr/include/bits/socket.h:320:24: error: asm/socket.h: No existe el fichero o el directorio" My searches on Google, on my system does not say anything about it. I would thank anyone who would help me, above all I cannot compile nearly any sources.

Thanks in advance, Hudibras (AOP)

Install or re-install the package "linux-kernel-headers".

Sure, I've installed everything about kernel, as usual. So, this is the first time it appears. So I would take a look again, and reinstall. Thank you!! Hudibras-

Or, if you feel like, manually verify your existing installation. "asm/socket.h" is really "/usr/include/asm/socket.h", and /usr/include/asm is a symlink to /usr/include/asm-<arch> example: /usr/include/asm-bi-x86_64

/usr/include/asm* and /usr/include/linux* and a few others are part of the linux-kernel-headers package.

(Technically they are really part of kernel-source, and kernel-headers is not strictly necessary, but it's simplest to just install the kernel-headers package suse provides in this case.)

As others said: kernel-headers. Here's how you can query rpm:

rpm -q -f /usr/include/asm/socket.h linux-kernel-headers-2.6.25-8.1

works even if the file is deleted.

rpm tells you if the file is missing:

rpm -V -f /usr/include/asm/socket.h missing /usr/include/asm-x86/socket.h

or what else is missing or modified in that package:

rpm -V linux-kernel-headers S.5....T /usr/include/asm-x86/signal.h missing /usr/include/asm-x86/socket.h

Yes, I did everything you say; I have linux-kernel-headers installed from the beginning, but this is the strange thing: compiling is still failing. I've downloaded a update for that and it seems it works! I still don't understand it but it solved the issue. Thanks, many thanks indeed. Hudibras.
