CentOS - Nov 2007 - Installing NTFS-3G

When I tried installing ntfs 3g on CentOS 5 I got an error telling me
it needed FUSE >= 2.6 I got FUSE but on attempting to install it it
gives the following error:

Fuse configure error
checking kernel source directory... Not found
configure: error:
        *** Please specify the location of the kernel source with
        *** the '--with-kernel=SRCDIR' option
configure: error: ./configure failed for kernel

Please let me know how to walk around this

Refer to this wiki and make sure you have kernel-devel installed:

I just installed this last Thursday. The notes on the wiki site were
helpful: (dkms and dkms-fuse install the fuse kernel module).


Here were my steps:

Enable RPMFORGE repository:

wget
http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/RPMS.dag/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf
.i386.rpm

rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.*.rpm

Install:
yum install dkms dkms-fuse fuse-ntfs-3g



Was all I did...

(Actually, I installed yum-priorities as well.....)
