Dear All,
We trying to run a make command and get below errors. Checked /lib/modules/2.6.32-71.el6.i686/build and it exist what else to check or need to be installed?

Code:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-71.el6.i686/build SUBDIRS=/home/test1/PF_RING-5.4.3/kernel EXTRA_CFLAGS='-I/home/test1/PF_RING-5.4.3/kernel -DSVN_REV="\"exported\""' modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32-71.el6.i686/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2

Hi,

The /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build is a symlink to /usr/src/kernel-version>, so I guess you miss the kernel sources.
You need to install the kernel development package of your distro and running kernel version

And : Updating the kernel is required too.
Only the latest 'kernel-devel' is available with yum.
( The versions of kernel, kernel-devel must be identical.)

'2.6.32-71.el6' is an old version.
Current is : 'kernel-devel-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6'.
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.3/...i386/Packages/

# yum install kernel kernel-devel
... And then reboot to use the new kernel.
