| 3 | to run on Linux systems. Since then it has been greatly modified |

| 7 | that you use very recent kernel headers. Strace needs those to get |
| 8 | the proper data structures used by the kernel, since these can be |
| 9 | different from the structures that the C library uses. Currently |
| 10 | you will need a 2.2.7 or newer kernel. |

| 13 | * you can link /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm to the corresponding |
| 14 | directories in your kernel source-tree. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * you can tell make where your kernel sources are. For example if you have your |
| 17 | kernelsource in /usr/src/linux, you should invoke make like this: |
