Hi In order to use perl's cpan tools to build C based modules I need to have the linux-headers package installed (as far as I can tell). Being a BSD person and not a Linux person I don't actually know what I need to install. I'm using Ubuntu and 'apt-get install linux-headers' provides the following list: linux-headers-2.6.22-14-xen 2.6.22-14.52 linux-headers-2.6.22-14-virtual 2.6.22-14.52 linux-headers-2.6.22-14-ume 2.6.22-14.52 linux-headers-2.6.22-14-server 2.6.22-14.52 linux-headers-2.6.22-14-rt 2.6.22-14.52 linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic 2.6.22-14.52 linux-headers-2.6.22-14-386 2.6.22-14.52 linux-headers-2.6.22-14 2.6.22-14.52 Which one do I need to install? It does appear that the kernel version is actually 2.6.18 so I assume I'd get some problems with any of those. Help? cheers nic

To answer my own question, in case anyone else needs it, the answer is apt-get install build-essentials nic
