 Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2008 9:57 am Post subject: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h missing in zen kernel |
 |
|
I have been trying to compile latest NVIDIA 177.13 module for my stock kernel 2.6.26-rc8-zen1-x0-core2-smp2 for Debian.the nvidia installer fails with below error for every work arounds  I have linux-header ,linux-source all installed for the current kernel version.
| Code: | ERROR: The kernel header file '/usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h' does not exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in '/usr/src/linux' have not been configured.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. |
Please point to me ,which file needs to be symlinked for version.h.
Thanks

The link /usr/src/linux must point to the correct kernel-source tree, zen-sources in your case
| Code: | | ls -l /usr/src/linux |

Thanks!  |
Your current kernel source tree is the folder which contains your currently used kernel, including sources. Or where/how did you compile your kernel?
e.g.
| Code: | └» ls -l /usr/src/linux
lrwxrwxrwx 1 tom tom 13 2008-06-24 18:58 /usr/src/linux -> zenmm-sources |

^well.that I tried first.symlinking with linux hadnt helped. 
the problem is the zen sources is ,missing usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h

It's not missing from zen-sources. It is missing in your kernel source tree.
That file is generated when you configure and compile your kernel. Just unpacking a kernel tree and pointing /usr/src/linux at it is of course not enough. You have to _compile_ that baby and _run_ it.

thanks.
well ,I am on Debian.It comes with a linux-image-2.6.26-rc8-zen1-x0-core2-smp2 .deb package and a linux-headers-2.6.26-rc8-zen1-x0-core2-smp2 .deb package both I have installed.
Now ,mostly Nvidia should compile with both of this installed.but in this case ,the nvidia installer is complaining that version.h is missing .

Ah you are on Debian. That explains why you don't know were your compiled kernel source tree is
No idea about Debian. Haven't used it in years.
You could try
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
make oldconfig
make prepare |

well ,this time some improvement.it showed 100% (module compiling) and suddenly showed error : module building failed.

hrm that genksyms script is generated on kernel compile too.
You could try a
if that doesn't help, compile the whole thing

I used to build the zen kernel for Ubuntu/Debian, and I think he's using one of my deb packages. I kinda shy away from that anymore, because I moved over to archlinux (faster, etc...didn't feel like doing slack or gentoo, honestly...), anyway, this has been a problem with Debian based distros. Unless you build the kernel, it doesn't work with nVidia, or a multitude of other drivers...
His best bet is to clone the git tree and compile. I'm going to write a bash script to do this for n00bs at some point, so I don't have Ubuntu people hanging on me all the time...
