Hello,
I’m trying to build a source rpm, but the depdencies are are missing.
Am I missing some repository or something?

# zypper si --build-deps-only ruby

Do you have the SLES11-SP1-Updates repository?
It should be there:
i | slessp1-libopenssl-devel | patch | 6054 | noarch | SLES11-SP1-Updates

Hi
Is it the specific version you want in? If so it would be;
```auto
zypper in kernel-xen-devel=3.12.28-4
```
Else just search and use the name found from;
[/CODE]
zypper se kernel
zypper se -s kernel
[/CODE]

Hello,
Thanks for replying.
I have installed kernel-xen-devel-3.12.25-1.13.g3f6afa3.x86\_64
# please check below output for the same :
# linux-4ldr:/usr/src/linux/kernel # rpm -qa | grep devel kernel-devel-3.12.28-4.3.noarch kernel-devel-3.12.28-4.6.noarch kernel-xen-devel-3.12.25-1.13.g3f6afa3.x86\_64 kernel-devel-3.12.25-1.4.g3f6afa3.noarch
But still facing issue while installing kernel module : “Unable to find the source directories for your running kernel”
# ==== linux-4ldr:/usr/src/linux/kernel # echo $KERN\_DIR \<== Nothing printed here linux-4ldr:/usr/src/linux/kernel #
Please suggest.
Thanks !!

Hello jmozdzen,
Thanks for sharing steps.
I tried above steps, but “linux-3.12.28-4-default” this is not available at /usr/src/
Please check below only following files and directories available in /usr/src :
# ============== linux-4ldr:/usr/src # ls linux linux-3.12.25-1.g3f6afa3 linux-3.12.25-1.g3f6afa3-obj linux-3.12.25-1.g3f6afa3-vanilla linux-3.12.28-4 linux-obj packages linux-4ldr:/usr/src #

Hi Ravikumar,
[QUOTE=wagh1ravi;32985]Hello jmozdzen,

well, I was assuming you had the kernel sources installed, but cannot say for sure. Is “/usr/src/linux” a symlink to linux-3.12.28-4 and is that the full kernel source? Then that’s the directory I’m talking about. If not, you’ll need to install the kernel-source package in a version corresponding to your running (or desired target) kernel and change to the resulting /usr/src/\* directory.
Regards,
J

Perhaps Ravikumar could post the output from “rpm -qa _kernel_”?
