Holger's advice will solve your vector.h problem but really you brought this upon yourself. If you've installed the patchkit then READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. If you don't follow the instructions for re-compiling the system, in the order that's specified, then you're likely to run into a lot more problems. It's not as though it's a lot of hassle. Rod supplied a script that does most of the work for you. If you haven't re-compiled the system as directed, and you don't seem to have since you've got bitten by an old config, then you've not actually solved anything by installing the patchkit. Just running make in /usr/src won't do, you have to consider certain propagation issues. Go and read the README and follow Rod's instructions, then you'll not only have new kernel but you'll remove a number of other bugs from you're system too. -- Paul Richards, University of Wales, College Cardiff Internet: paul@isl.cf.ac.uk spedpr@thor.cf.ac.uk
