How to install kernel-devel. OpenSUSE 11.1 64bits

English Hardware

Hi.

I’m trying to install kernel-devel but I’m having problems

I type the command:

yast -i kernel-devel automake autoconf

I get the error:

Following packages haven’t been found on the medium: kernel-devel

Thank you.

Hi
That’s because kernel-devel is a pattern not a package like automake
and autoconf are. You need to use the pattern switch for yast. I use
zypper;


sudo zypper in -t pattern kernel-devel

yep… I am in the same problem.

Tried what you said, but then:…:open_mouth:

sudo zypper in -t pattern kernel-devel

Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
‘kernel-devel’ not found.
Resolving package dependencies…
Nothing to do.

Some other suggestions?..:expressionless:

Hi
My mistake, it’s kernel_devel an underscore…

Use the zypper se -t pattern to see them all.

yep… also tried:

zypper in -t pattern devel_kernel

Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
‘devel_kernel’ is already installed.
Resolving package dependencies…
Nothing to do.

ahaha… it maybe could also be named devils_kernel! rotfl!

some other idea!?

'devel_kernel' **is already installed**.

So where’s your problem?

Hi
So are you wanting the kernel-source then?


sudo zypper in kernel-source kernel-syms linux-kernel-headers
module-init-tools make gcc

Yep… I have to install the nVidia graphics card with the best features for opengl software development. So, now the source was compiled and is working perfect! Thanks guys… :slight_smile:
