If the program is not Linux-specific (or specific to linux-only libraries), you might try using generic sources and running 'configure', then compiling instead of building from Linux sources. The negative is that the app would not be automagically managed - you would have to know it was there, look for upgrades, etc. The missing headers are things I would expect in the Linux kernel sources, if that gives you any leads. > SoI obviously don't have the header files... Do I need to install the > entire linux src? There may be a port of just the headers. That should be enough of the sources to compile. You would need suitable a suitable intermediate library to link, which takes you beyond my knowledge here.
