[SOLVED]Kernel Headers Mixup

Hello Everyone,
I've gotten myself into a bit of a confusing situation, hope someone can help out.
The output for 'uname -r' is:
$uname -r
3.4.7-1-ARCH
However, the directory '/lib/modules/' has the following contents:
$ls /lib/modules
3.4.8-1-ARCH extramodules-3.4-ARCH
Naturally, 'make' seeks for the 3.4.7 headers and terminates when it can't find them.
make: *** /lib/modules/3.4.7-1-ARCH/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [LINUX] Error 2
What should I do? Should I upgrade to kernel 3.4.8, or downgrade the headers to 3.4.7. In either case, I don't know how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much Allan. I can't believe I overlooked that! I did a 'pacman -Syu' recently but I didn't realize there were kernel updates included..
Well, thanks again

[SOLVED] kernel-headers & VirtualBox. Still same problems! (

Hi guys, i'm new to this forum, but i didn't found an answer anywhere! I'm trying to install VirtualBox 4.2.10 from terminal on my x86 Oracle Linux.
Half year ago, when i tried first, i couldn't resolv the problem and still the same problem today - NO KERNEL HEADERS for ORACLE Linux in REPO! What did wrong after update? I can found headers only for RHEL original kernel, but i don't want to use 2.6.32 kernel version.
Can someone help me and describe true and complete installation VirtualBox for Oracle Linux??? Thanks ahead!

[SOLVED] Missing Kernel Headers for Catalyst

Hello Everyone,
I am a new Arch guy! I am from the ubuntu world. Love the new arch install, I have installed my own DE.
I use a Radeon HD 68xx so I need the catalyst drivers.
I have tried installing them via: sudo pacman -S catalyst-dkms catalyst-utils (per the wiki)
It gets to the end and gives me this message:
DKMS: add completed.
Error! echo
Your kernel headers for kernel 3.6.2-1-ARCH cannot be found at
/usr/lib/modules/3.6.2-1-ARCH/build or /usr/lib/modules/3.6.2-1-ARCH/source.
error: command failed to execute correctly
Can anybody assist on how I get the kernel headers? As far as I understood, they should be included in Arch.

[solved] building the kernel headers for custom kernels

well, ive been building several different kernels for my laptop, so that i can test stuff. but ive got a problem with the kernel headers.
ive mirrored the arch kernel's PKGBUILD and modified some naming to get a custom kernel. but when i try to build a custmo module, it complains the headers are broken. (example, vbox_build_module).
im pasting the pkgbuild here for future reference...if someone sees something thats plain wrong, please say so.
thanks

for anything that might be missing. The error message when compiling would give you more of a clue. Off-hand, you may need to add 'generated', as I recall I needed that when the kernel moved to 2.6.33.

[SOLVED] VMplayer no kernel headers

Hello all,
Just installed VMPlayer via the following link:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VM … n.2FPlayer
and when I run vmware-modconfig --console --install-all I receive the following error:
gcc and kernel headers must be installed.
I installed via:
pacman -S base-devel
It appeared to install everything, however I still get the error.
I checked this link:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75988
but that was not for player.
all help is appreciated.

Kernel Headers without internet connection without pacman -S

Hi all,
I need to rebuild the wl module after upgrading to kernel 2.6.32. When I compile the source code it gives an error saying I have to install kernel headers. The problem is that I dont have access wired internet so I have to download the kernel headers to another computer and move it to mine with a usb stick. Is there any way to find the kernel headers as a package and install it with the command pacman -u ?
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi again,
The problem is solved. First of all, I just realized that I opened the topic with wrong subject title. Sorry for that.
As I said before, I could only reach wireless internet, but in order to make the wireless work I had to compile wl module. But, after I performed the upgrade to kernel 2.6.32, I needed the kernel header in order to compile it. What I did was downloaded the kernel26-headers 2.6.32.9-1 package from here: http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/package … re-x86_64/ then I downloaded the kernel-2.6.32 and patch-2.6.32.9-1-Arch files as indicated in PKGBUILD file.
Then I place these two files same folder with PKGBUILD. I changed the source lines in PKGBUILD and ran
makepkg --asroot
pacman -U <created_package_name>
then I was able to compile the necessary module.
I am newbee for Archlinux. Hope I have done the right things so far.
Thanks

Ppc glibc: problem with kernel-headers dependency

I wasn't sure where to post this... After attempting to follow the tutorial Wii Tutorial here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wii_Tutorial I discovered that the kernel-headers dependency of glibc is set to the wrong version. The dependency is kernel-headers version 2.6.29.4. However, in the repository, the current version is 2.6.29.1-1. I'm not sure what's going on here.

Kernel-headers: /usr/include/linux/ivtv.h exists in filesystem

can't update kernelheaders caus that file exist issue!
kernel-headers: /usr/include/linux/ivtv.h exists in filesystem

Find out which package it belongs to (pacman will do this for you), then report it on the bugtracker, if it hasn't already been reported.

Pacman fails. gcc-uclibc: requires kernel-headers- What's this???

After my last update a few weeks ago, I always get this. I've updated kernel, pacman, and initscripts manually, and messed with pacman.conf for days.
Read countless forums posts, googled for hours, tried many "solutions" and can't figure this out. (enable/disable different repos, SigLevels, db refreshes, etc.)
gcc-uclibc kernel-headers don't seem to exist, and only a few references (of no help, and old)) show up in all my searching.
My system boots normally, and is running OK- just can't get pacman to work, and can't get past this blocker
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Has anyone even seen this gcc-uclibc/kernel-headers error recently.

The next step gives me this, supposedly all these need rebuilding? How can this be, as I'm using the Arch Linux binary packages, and have never rebuilt (re-compiled anything?

Quote on issue 2 from the wiki page:
Issue 2: The final "pacman -Su" still has conflicts in /lib
This means that you have files or folders still in /lib or pacman thinks a package apart from glibc still own /lib. You can see which package own files in /lib by using:
find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- '{}' \+
If any package apart from glibc is listed as owning a file, that package needs to be updated to install its files in /usr/lib. Any files unowned by a package should be moved to /usr/lib and any directories within /lib need deleted (after they are empty...).
If after this the "pacman -Su" still has conflicts with /lib, this is because a package on your system other than glibc thinks it owns the /lib folder. Such packages can be detected using:
grep -R --include files "^lib/" /var/lib/pacman/local/
These packages need rebuilding so as not to include the /lib directory. Then the final "pacman -Su" will successfully install glibc.
You can confirm the update is complete by looking in your root directory to see that lib is a symlink to usr/lib.

Error Summary
But why do I see nothing by this?
[root@localhost Server]# rpm -qa| grep kernel-headers
[root@localhost Server]#
Here is what I get
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)

Thanks. I ran it and I got this confirmation

Arch 0.7.1 pre1 kernel headers

i have read that the kernel headers are included with the kernel packages, which is very nice because i have a sagem fast 800 modem and i need to compile drivers for it. Except for when i installed arch a few days ago i tried to compile my module and just got kernel-sources cannot be found. Was there something with the headers in that packages or are they in a weird place? Can someone help i would really like to use arch linux.

Probably, for your module, the kernel headers are not enough; it needs the sources. You can get them on kernel.org. Make sure you grab the right version. I'm guessing that you need to put them in /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r). I've never messed much with kernel/modules stuff.

Glibc and kernel headers

I noticed that glibc depends in kernel-headers, and that they are the headers of the 2.6.23.1 kernel and the current kernel is 2.6.23, futhermore, kernel-headers has one directory, for it's headers, and in /usr/src there is another one for another headers, my question is
Must glibc use the headers of the kernel in wich it was compiled?
just curiosity

Ideally... however, up until the headers were provided with the kernel, the sanitized headers package lagged a bit behind the kernel version. So I guess it is not essential.

Where are the kernel-headers?

I'm trying to compile a gamepad driver but I don't know what directory to put into the makefile for the KERNEL_DIR section. The guide I'm following is for Ubuntu and it has it in /usr/src but I can't seem to find a "kernel-headers" file.
Thanks,
Nathan

Make sure that you have the kernel-headers package installed. Then you'll find them in /usr/src/linux-2.6.24-ARCH.
