13 <para>Your host system should have the following software with the
14 minimum versions indicated. This should not be an issue for most
15 modern Linux distributions. Also note that many distributions will
16 place software headers into separate packages, often in the form of

18 <quote>&lt;package-name&gt;-dev</quote>. Be sure to install those if
19 your distribution provides them.</para>

72 libmpc.la. Either all three should be present or absent, but not only
73 one or two. If the problem exists on your system, either rename or

100
101 <para>If the host kernel is earlier than &min-kernel; you will need to replace
102 the kernel with a more up to date version. There are two ways
103 you can go about this. First, see if your Linux vendor provides a &min-kernel;
104 or later kernel package. If so, you may wish to install it. If your
105 vendor doesn't offer an acceptable kernel package, or you would prefer not to
106 install it, you can compile a kernel yourself. Instructions for
107 compiling the kernel and configuring the boot loader (assuming the host
108 uses GRUB) are located in <xref linkend="chapter-bootable"/>.</para>
