Thank you for your time.

    The way in which I tried to install 'xkgdb' is this:

-- I ran the patch utility which prompted me to patch only 2 
   files : linux/Makefile & linux/arch/i386/config.in

-- I configured the kernel "make config". It did not prompt
   me for "kernel debugging support" but did prompt me for
   "kernel profiling support". Are they the same?

-- I compiled the kernel using -g option

-- I then ran "make; make install" in xkdebug-2.1.55/ 
   subdirectory. It gave me a bunch of errors, some of which
   are:
   -- xkdebug.c:24: linux/vmalloc.h : No such file or directory
   -- xkdebug.c:26: asm/uaccess.h: No such file or directory
   -- xkdebug.c:534: macro 'get_user' used with too many
                                (2) arguments

Am I missing to do something? Any feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanks again.
