Some things to check for that: |
| 39 |
You need the following tools installed: |
| 40 |
- gcc |
| 41 |
- make |
| 42 |
- kernel sources |
| 43 |
- kernel headers |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
And you need a symlink '/usr/src/linux' pointing to the sources. |
| 46 |
The sources and headers need to be the same version as the running kernel. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
These are not always available or set up correctly by default. Centos 7 needed some manual fixing when I installed in a VM it last week. |
