Xorg Build Fails

[Satirical Story]

I can't build X.org, due to the following error:

this often happens when you have (somehow) got headers from an uncompiled kernel in there. Try installing your kernel (lin linux-2.4-something) and afterwards install the kernel-headers-2.4 package, perhaps recompile glibc. This should fix it in most cases.

How it ended up in the first place there - I wouldn't know, it just happens sometimes.

[Satirical Story]

I've built a 2.6 kernel and installed the headers after rebooting, and have done this many times over. I also went through the 2.6 kernel install guide for Lunar.

you should file a bugreport, please provide a list of which versions you have installed of linux-2.6, kernel-headers-2.6 etc.

another reason xorg wont build is from using a precompiled 26 kernel, and trying to lin xorg before compiling the kernel. i found out later that you have to have compiled a kernel at least once for xorg to build correctly.

This is confirmed. make was bailing out during a 'lin XOrg'. After I did a 'lin linux-2.6', and compiled from source, I returned to the XOrg build, and it finished clean. Maybe a kernel source install should be an option or dependency for the XOrg build until this error can be fixed. At first I though a quick installation of the kernel headers would fix the compile problem, but it did not.
