Problem on Red Hat AS 4 64 bit compiling snapapi

[fabio.emidi]

Hello.
I installed Acronis True Image Server 9.1 for Linux (Trial Version) on Red Hat AS 4 64 bit. I choose not to compile snapapi during installation (cause it failed).
I tried to do io by hand, following reccomended procedure. I launched this command:

dkms build -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.10 -k 2.6.9-42.ELsmp --config /boot/config-2.6.9-42.ELsmp --arch x86_64 --kernelsourcedir /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-42.EL-smp-x86_64/

... but I received errors. Here is an extract from file /var/lib/dkms/snapapi26/0.7.10/build/make.log:

The full log file is attached. Anyone has some idea of what is going on ???

Well, none else ever tried to install TI on 64 bit Red Hat distro ?

I am trying - but not Red Hat but Fedora Core 4 64-bit...no luck compiling the snapapi because of a Kernel Sources problem:

[root@cp1 boot]# /usr/sbin/dkms build -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.10 --config /boot/config-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 --arch x86_64 --kernelsourcedir /usr/src/redhat/

Error! Your kernel source for kernel 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 cannot be found at
/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/build or /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/source.
You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.

Tried downloading and installed:
http://fr.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/4/src/kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.html

But I'm not sure if this is the correct files because it ain't working.

[eugenevdm]

This finally sorted it out:

yum install kernel-devel (apparently these are header files)

and then:

/usr/sbin/dkms build -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.10 --config /boot/config-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 --arch x86_64 --kernelsourcedir /usr/src/kernels/2.6.17-1.2142_FC4-x86_64
