which is the analog to /boot/symvers-<version> for ubuntu?
Hello Forumanswer
Somebody knows about this issue trying to install National Instruments
drivers in Ubuntu?
During installation I get a message similar to the following one:
"Kernel source does not appear to be configured for the running kernel.
Configuration of kernel source is required to continue installation."
I do have kernel sources installed; is there anything else that needs to
be done?
with the following answwer:
This problem can occur even if you have installed the correct kernel sources,
if the sources require configuration. This problem has been seen on openSUSE.
However, it is possible that other distributions will require similar steps
to resolve this problem.
1. Ensure you have installed kernel-source and kernel-syms packages
of the currently running kernel can be determined by issuing the command
`uname -r`.
2. Change the directory to the /usr/src/
<version> corresponds to the currently running kernel version.
3. Run "zcat /boot/symvers-
modversion support.
4. Run "make cloneconfig" as root to configure the sources for the
currently running kernel.
5. Run "make modules_prepare" as root to prepare the headers for
compilation.
6. THIS STEP IS STRICTLY OPTIONAL. Completing this step removes the
warning:
WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/
Run "make modules" as root to compile all modules and generate
7. Run the INSTALL script for the NI-VISA software for Linux from this
directory.
But, syms package seems not to be part of Ubuntu distribution, is not it?
