<para>Your host system should have the following software with the
|
|
minimum versions indicated. This should not be an issue for most
|
|
modern Linux distributions. Also note that many distributions will
|
|
place software headers into separate packages, often in the form of
|
|
<quote><package-name>-devel</quote> or
|
|
<quote><package-name>-dev</quote>. Be sure to install those if
|
|
your distribution provides them.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Earlier versions of the listed software packages may work, but has not

been tested.</para>

|

(having been compiled with GCC-4.1.2 or greater)</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The reason for the kernel version requirement is that we specify
|
|
that version when building <application>glibc</application> in Chapter 6
|
|
at the recommendation of the developers. It is also required by
|
|
udev.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the host kernel is either earlier than 2.6.25, or it was not
|
|
compiled using a GCC-4.1.2 (or later) compiler, you will need to replace
|
|
the kernel with one adhering to the specifications. There are two ways
|
|
you can go about this. First, see if your Linux vendor provides a 2.6.25
|
|
or later kernel package. If so, you may wish to install it. If your
|
|
vendor doesn't offer an acceptable kernel package, or you would prefer not to
|
|
install it, you can compile a kernel yourself. Instructions for
|
|
compiling the kernel and configuring the boot loader (assuming the host
|
|
uses GRUB) are located in <xref linkend="chapter-bootable"/>.</para>
