Linux Header files not found

Frank85 · 11-26-2009, 01:24 AM

Hello,

I have done an kernel update on Debian 5.0 from Kernel 2.6.26 to 2.6.38 all seems to work fine.
But now I want to compile openss7, which has run on kernel 2.6.26 but I get this errors:

Code:

Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden is german and means File or folder/subfolder not found.

The header files are available in /usr/src/linux-2.6.32-rc8/include but it seems that is not the standard path...

Have anybody an idea, whats going wrong?

Regards
Frank

Kindly check whether u have installed kernel-devel and kernel-headers packages !

Frank85 · 11-26-2009, 02:10 AM

I installed the kernel from kernel.org and I didn't see another file then the linux-2.6.32-rc8.tar.bz2 file.

My problem is not that I missing the file. I think, the problem is that the program can't found the header files.

Regards

Aquarius_Girl · 11-26-2009, 02:22 AM

Quote:

Reconfirm once again from synaptic-package-manager in Debian 5.0, that you have installed both the above mentioned files.

Frank85 · 11-26-2009, 02:46 AM

Kernel-package is already installed.

Kernel-devel is not found in the list and not with apt-cache search or something else. Is this the right package name for debian?

EricTRA · 11-26-2009, 02:54 AM

Hello,

Try re-installing the kernel headers, if they are installed. If not installed, install them, if they are installed rerunning will fix broken links.

First run from a terminal as root:

Code:

uname -r

will give you a number like 2.6.32-i686 or different depending on your architecture (I think the 38 was a typo in your post since the latest kernel is 2.6.32-rc8 if I'm not mistaking.

Then install the headers from a terminal as root:

Code:

apt-get install kernel-headers-2.6.32-i686

(with the number you got from the uname -r command).

Then try running your compile again.

Kind regards,

Eric

Frank85 · 11-26-2009, 03:14 AM

Code:

debian:/usr/src# uname -r
2.6.32-rc8
debian:/usr/src# apt-get install kernel-headers-2.6.32-rc8
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig <--Loading package list - Ready

Lese Status-Informationen ein... Fertig
E: Konnte Paket kernel-headers-2.6.32-rc8 nicht finden <-- Can't find package kernel-headers-2.6.32-rc8

That's what I got!

@EricTRA I didn't install the kernel from apt-get. I compiled it myself from kernel.org

Code:

debian:/usr/src# apt-cache search 2.6.32
linux-doc-2.6.32 - Linux kernel specific documentation for version 2.6.32
linux-manual-2.6.32 - Linux kernel API manual pages for version 2.6.32
linux-patch-debian-2.6.32 - Debian patches to version 2.6.32 of the Linux kernel
linux-source-2.6.32 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.32 with Debian patches
linux-support-2.6.32-rc8 - Support files for Linux 2.6.32-rc8
linux-tree-2.6.32 - Linux kernel source tree for building Debian kernel images
linux-image-2.6.32-rc8 - Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.32-rc8

EricTRA · 11-26-2009, 03:21 AM

Hello,

My bad, should have known that. Have a look if this file does the trick:
Linux headers for 2.6.32.

Download the correct one depending on your architecture and install using:

Code:

dpkg -i filename.deb

where filename is the name of the file you download of course

Kind regards,

Eric

Frank85 · 11-26-2009, 04:01 AM

Hey,

I installed the package and make a recompilation but, it comes the same error with the header-files.

I'm pretty much at a loss.

Another idea?

Or is there in the meantime a package with kernel 2.6.32-xxx which I can use without compiling myself (for i386)?

Aquarius_Girl · 11-26-2009, 04:25 AM

This may sound strange but not having proper linkings i.e. incorrect or missing paths with -l, -L, -I options in the makefile can also lead to the errors you are facing !

EricTRA · 11-26-2009, 04:31 AM

Maybe if you try to force the configure and make to use the headers you installed like this:

Code:

./configure CC="gcc -I /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.XX/include/ -I /usr/include/"

(look in your /usr/src directory for the exact name).

And then make:

Code:

make CC="gcc -I /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.XX/include/ -I/usr/include/"

(look in your /usr/src directory for the exact name).

If this doesn't work then I'm all out of options. I spend some time looking on the web to see if there is a package for the last kernel but couldn't find anything.

Kind regards,

Eric

Frank85 · 11-26-2009, 05:31 AM

@Eric It will helps a little bit. So I get new errors

I will post something of the errors:

Hi Frank,

Maybe silly question but did you run a

Code:

make clean

before compiling and make again? If not, could you run that command, then configure and make again.

Kind regards,

Eric

I will it at the bottom...

EricTRA · 11-26-2009, 06:08 AM

Hello,

Well, we've covered all the ground on which I feel at ease, I really don't know how to fix these last errors. Seems like pointing to invalid pointers when creating a command, but that's more in the region of the programmer's knowledge and beyond my scope. Maybe it has to do with the new kernel you use, I don't know.

However, I'm sure someone will pick it up and help you out with these last issues.

BTW, there is a Post reply button on the bottom too

Kind regards,

Eric
