Some things to check for that: You need the following tools installed: - gcc - make - kernel sources - kernel headers And you need a symlink '/usr/src/linux' pointing to the sources. The sources and headers need to be the same version as the running kernel. These are not always available or set up correctly by default. Centos 7 needed some manual fixing when I installed in a VM it last week. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
