System administrator install can't kind find Kernel source

I'm trying to install system administrator on a Suse 9 box. I have gotten this to work on other installations. I have tried the two most recent releases of system manger. They both claim they can't find the kernel source, and they fail. The kernel source is installed. It appears to be in /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-243/kernel. Where is system administrator looking for it? I have definitely successfully installed system administrator (the second to newest version) on an identical PE 1750 running Suse 9 pro.

Per this page http://linux.dell.com/monitoring.shtml I also tried copying the contents of /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-243/ to /usr/src/linux-2.4/ but I still get the same results. The error log says "DEPENDENCY: Server Administrator : Server Administrator is unable to build a device driver for the running kernel  because the needed kernel source files are not installed.  See Dynamic Kernel Support in the Server Administrator readme.txt file."

Are the 2 systems using the same kernel?  Is the kernel dynamic?  You will also need to be sure that the following package dependencies are available.

- kernel-headers or glibc-kernheaders
- kernel-source
- make
- gcc
- binutils

I hope this information is helpful!

Seems to have redhat specific dependencies that I can't put on a suse system

All 4 below are there.

- kernel-source

- make

Sorry for all the responses. My IE sessions was acting up. Not usre if I have dyanmic kernel support.  I have the kernel source installed. I also have make, gcc, and binutils. kernel-headers and glibc-kernheaders seem to be redhat specific, and I can't get them installed on my SUSE system.

I had everything installed on this exact box a few days ago. I was just rebuliding it one more time from scratch, and now it won't work anymore. I have no idea why.

No Events found!
