from what I understand kernel-devel does not bring in ALL the header files for install modules. so what i would like to know is how to install true headers instead of using kernel-devel. I found one tutorial, but it was way out of date.

I have a problem to install the VMware Server (VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.x86_64.rpm) on "Fedora 13 Desktop Edition 64-bit".I traied all tips I found, but nothing was OK.Please look my linux configuration and the error messages:

I'm attempting to install the driver for my atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet adapter (in my Lenovo laptop) on my newly installed RHEL5 system (it's not currently being recognized).
I tried using: 'make install' but hit an error "Makefile:61: *** Linux kernel source not found."
After this, I tried: 'sudo yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers'
To rectify this, but hit this error "No package kernel-devel available" (and the same for the headers). What should I do?
I have a program that needs kernel headers. The machine is running CentOS release 5.4 (Final).
uname -r output: 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5
When I try to do a - yum install kernel-devel or kernel-headers I get:
kernel-headers i386 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 updates 1.0 M
Why don't they match?
Ive also tried downloading RPMs to a usb stick and it said it was the wrong ones for my machine.
How do i find out if my machine is x32 x64 x86?
Anyway im trying to install kernel headers and devel from the fedora installation disk but i dont know how to get to the cdrom thru terminal as i cant copy the RPMs to desktop by drag n drop or using software installer.
I dont have an internet connection to the pc so i cant use yum (which would make things so much easier) so can anyone tell me how how to install these packages thru terminal?
I'm working on a Fedora 13 server trying to intal some soft following the same steps I did with some other server with Fedora 12 ( not 13, like the new one ).First problem that I found was with 'yum install kernel-devel'
Response: Nothing to do !
Then I tryed 'yum -v info kernel devel'
Response:
Installed Packages
Name : kernel-devel
Arch : x86_64

Second problem that is stopping me is 'yum install gcc' Some dpendency problem that can not be solved. Tryed --skeep-broken but nothing is installed.I don't have gcc on my sistem.
What's the command for installing kernel headers for the currently installed kernel?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've installed Vmware Workstation and tried to run it only to have the following appear;

Kernel headers for version 2.6.27.25-170.2.72.fc10.i586 were not found. If you installed them in a non-default path you can specify the path below etc.......
I've tried to search and find the kernel headers but can't find them.
I am trying to install a piece of software that uses an install.pl script which looks to /usr/src/linux/include/ for my kernel headers...but it never finds them or that directory/link.
I've run "yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers" so I am pretty sure they are installed.
My "rpm -qa | grep kernel" returns code...
What am I missing?
I've been trying to install Vmware Workstation and keep getting an error about Kernel Headers missing! Although I am pretty sure I have the headers installed for my system. It's looking for the PAE version of my headers which I believe it doesn't exist!

View 14 Replies View RelatedYesterday, I think I did something stupid: I removed kernel-headers, gcc, glibc-devel and glibc-headers. My box is a CentOS 5.4 webserver (it has loads of packages installed, but that was done through Virtualmin config, so it's quite coherent all in all). The thing is that now I need to reinstall at least the headers and glibc, but hey! this is what I get :

Use 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686 kernel,
A package needs same kernel source to build.
Add/Remove Software show only: 2.6.32.12-115.fc12... & 2.6.31.5-127.fc12...
How to get kernel-devel-2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686?
I tried installing the VBOX additions. But after running the VBoxLinuxAdditions.run file, building of the kernel modules failed. It gave following message: The headers of the currently running kernel were not found. If the current compilation fails then probably this could be the reason. The missing package can be probably installed with yum install kernel-devel-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686.
But when I tried installing the above kernel headers and devel package, it says no such package were found.kernel is 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686 but the kernel headers are not available for this version. They are available for previous versions i.e 2.6.40.3-0.fc15.i686.should I downgrade my kernel version (if it's possible) or is there any way things can work out. I have enabled 3D accelaration and given the memory of 128 MB for display. The memory for Virtual Box is 1 GB and hard Disk is 8 GB. The host system is windows 7.
Search the forums first. Well I did, can't find anything I understand.
So please help an ignoramus in simple terms.
The problem:-
I'm trying to run vmware workstation and I get a desktop box pop up which says "Kernel .heade4s for version 2.6.37.1-1.2 desktop not found"
How do I find them and install please.
Can anyone point me to a source for linux-kernel-headers. for kernel 2.6.34-12
I can't find it in the normal repositories and need it for installing vmware 6.0.4
I'd like to upgrade a live ISO file before burning a new CD.
So, following the instructions in "How to Customise the Ubuntu Desktop CD", I chrooted to the squashfs and ran "apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade", expecting apt-get to upgrade the chroot kernel... only to find out that apparently, even when being chrooted, this command upgrades the actual kernel. I guess it makes sense, but I was under the - wrong - impression that chroot would build a filesystem totally isolated from the underneath host.
So I rebooted to use this new kernel:
Next, since the Nouveau video driver requires the kernel header files, I ran the following:
Code:
I don't understand why apt-get upgrades the kernel but won't install its header files.
I am trying to install vmware and i am getting an error:
Code:
Unable to build the vmmon module.
I guess they are not in /usr/src/linux/include (I also tried /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.6/include).

I'm trying to install the "kernel26-headers" package in Arch so I can (try to) compile the Intel 865G graphics drivers from off their website (I can't get H/W acceleration working with xf86-video-intel, but I know the thing has a GPU, because if I boot a Knoppix CD that I have, it enables Compiz by default, and it works damn well).
Any time I try "pacman -S kernel26-headers" I just get a bunch of errors spat back at me code...
Now, I have tried enabling all the US mirrors (HTTP and FTP), and I have even tried a couple of FTP servers in Canada and even Great Britain. None of them seem to work at all!
Is there any way I can get this package?
Does anyone know the kernel-headers location, or how to determine that location, in Fedora 13? I'm installing vmware-tools and it's prompting for it. /usr/include/ and /usr/include/linux/ were revealed to have many header files, as shown by doing rpm -ql kernel-headers
However the installer rejected these locations. My only guess as to why is because they're not where the currently-running kernel has them. I also tried /usr/src/kernels/(kernelversion).fc13.i686/include/ with no luck...
I am running Ubuntu 11.04 with a Dlink DGE-530T NIC. My browsing in Ubuntu on ALL browsers is horribly slow. It works perfectly fine on windows and other PCs on the LAN. So I know for sure my router and my internet line is fine.I figured it could be a problem with my NIC drivers and decided to install the drivers from the CD. (All this while it was running on the default drivers that ship with Ubuntu). I'm trying to install the sk98lin drivers and my understanding of the kernel so far is still very weak. When I try to run the install.sh script it gives me an error saying :
Code:
Create tmp dir (/tmp/Sk98IknhDHEiLKnkWUSoYMTLi) [ OK ]
Check user id (0) [ OK ]
Check kernel version (2.6.38-8-generic) [ OK ]
Check kernel symbol file (/proc/kallsyms) [ OK ]
Check kernel type (SMP) [ OK ]
Check number of CPUs (2)
[Code]...
But the installation script is still not able to find it. I tried searching a few threads on google but wasn't able to make too much sense of whats going on because of my lack of understanding of the linux kernel.
I've been trying to install nvidia drivers yesterday, so I went to runlevel 3, ran the .bin installer and it came up with error: missing kernel-devel and kernel-source.
So I go yum install kernel-devel, it does, but it doesnt find anything like kernel-source.
How do I fix this issue? I have Fedora 12, and I ran drivers from:[URL]..
Where do I obtain this? I have the i586 kernel and I need the i686 kernel to run VMware. I beleive this may be the pottential reason virtualbox wasn't working too.
View 13 Replies View Relatedwhere you only get offered the kernel-headers for 2.6.35.11-83 by yum but not the kernel or the kernel-devel? I tried yum clean all and both pointing to the baseurl and mirrorlist and it does the same thing for both. Oddly my other laptop with F14 in the wireless cafe showed all three packages were available.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've built a new kernel (2.6.34) on our workstation at work. It boots and runs beautifully, but there is one minor problem. I created the kernel as a Debian package along with the kernel headers. Upon installing both and attempting to build the nVidia driver for said kernel, the installer tells me that it cannot determine the version and quits. This happens even if I manually specify the path to the headers. What's going on here, did I miss something during my compilation of the new kernel?

Where are the kernel headers for the current kernel of F12KDE? I am trying to configure VMWare player on my machine, and on initial startup I got an error message.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've installed F13. Installer has set:

Installation of VMware Workstation was ok, but at first launch it ask me for path of
kernel-headers-2.6.33.3 Why I have different versions of kernel and kernel-headers? How can I make working VMware? Installation of kernel-headers 2.6.33.3 from package-manager seems impossible.What is the path to specify kernel-headers for VMware?
The problem is that I need to use kernel headers like <linux/interrupt.h>. However, those files do not exist in folder /usr/include/linux. Thus, compilation fails. On the other hand, the files exist in folder /usr/src/kernels/2.6.30.10-105.2.4.fc11.i586/include/linux.
How can I get the missing headers into proper place in /usr/include/? I even tried coping, but extra files are then needed and so on.
I tried to use "make menuconfig", but I couldn't see a missing configuration I need.
I also tried to use " yum install kernel-devel". This tells me "Package kernel-devel 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586 already installed and latest version Nothing to do".
