Dear Friends,
I know the "mixed..." means there is either a space or missing something, such as & or $ but how can I fix this.... why is there no version.h - I also forgot how to fix this, and used to know...
old age is not fun.
best to all,

It's /lib/modules/2.6.18-grml/build/include/linux/version.h and not version-*.h.
And starting with kernel 2.6.18 the relevant file is utsrelease.h instead of version.h.

Well, what are you trying to do at all? :)

Dear Mika, I am testing various versions of the ati driver installer. I am not sure why the 35 does not work, as on another grml install, 34.8 worked fine, and I ran it for about a month on a testbed grml.
It may have to do with the compiler verions, since when I install grml whatever is in unstable I get?
Thanks, and sorry to be a pest.

The fglrx stuff is pretty unfriendly for new kernels. :(

I always (at least try to) ship the compiler version with grml that has been used for building the kernel. It's always the current one from Debian/unstable, right.

Right - I had upgraded the compiler on my "experimental" partition - apparently, the make file is a sensitive creature, abhorring contact with younger partners.
As always, you are correct in the way you put the distro together, and dilletants like me should refraining from using apt to get.... ;)
Obviously, on mission critical machines, with no updates, installer works as expected.
