Not able to install LIS on RHEL 6.X about lis-next

[nickme]

Hi there,

Thank you for the report. The RHEL 6.6 release includes the 2.6.32-504 kernel. The problem statement in the original email shows the path as:
/lib/modules/2632-504el6x86_64/build
Also, uname is returning:
2632-504el6x86_64

The periods are missing. It should be:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64
and uname should be returning:
2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64

As a quick test, I used an existing 6.6 x64 VM I had on a test server. ‘uname -r’ does return ‘2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64’. Building LIS was successful.

Questions:
Did someone rebuild the kernel and modify the kernel version string?

    Look in the /lib/modules/ directory.  Is there a directory named 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64?
            If yes, you can try renaming it to 2632-504el6x86_64, but I believe you will run into other issues.
            Removing the periods from the version string could break some macros used in building.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Nick, for the update.

This is My fresh new build OS and there is no any changes with kernel and
OS.

Kernel version is 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 (default came with RHEL 6.6 x86_64)

/lib/modules/2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64/build file is present in the operating
system (OS) and this is pointing to the file
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 which is not present.

Please check below command for better understanding.

[root@indusdracmsdb1 hv]# ./rhel6-hv-driver-install

drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 Mar 5 2015 ..

I just want to say that /usr/src/kernels does not have any file or
directory with the name of kernel version i.e. 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64

I am also facing same issue with RHEL 6.4 and 6.7

Thanks

Hi Vinod,

Great - that is progress. I believe the issue you are now running into is due to a package missing. I believe a group install of the Development Tools will install all the packages required to build kernel components. Try the following command, then give building LIS another try:

            yum groupinstall “Development Tools”

thanks,

-Nick

You need to install kernel-devel package to build LIS from source.

yum install kernel-devel Or download it from ISO.

Thanks
