linux- Headers seem to be old version
May 11, 2015 07:57PM
Bodhi,

I've upgraded to Arch 4.0,2 on my Pogo V4 and everything runs fine except I went to compile a Wifi module and it errored out because it couldn;t find the correct Linux headers where they should have been. When I tried to reinstall the headers it said I had the latest version which indicated it was "linux-headers-3.1.10-35". Shouldn't the latest version be higher than 3.1.10-35 or am I thinking this wrong?

Thanks

Usualy you have to install the matching headers separately. So if you have Arch 4.0.2, then find out how pacman would deal with it. 3.1.x is way too old. My Arch command-fu is rusty, so dont recall how.
