What header and lib packets need for compiling kernel?

No libraries, no headers. All that you need to compile is: 1. Gcc. If you want to compile 2.0.x series you have to use gcc-2.7.2.3. It will not compile with egcs. I recommend Linux-2.2.2. 2. Binutils. 3. As86 and ld86 from bin86 packages. 4. To make xconfig or make menuconfig instead of make config you need Tcl/Tk. All this staff is present in any Linux distribution including RedHat 5.2. If you have more questions you can use e-mail.
