Good news, thanks for the update. Cancelling. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to dkms in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357015 Title: DKMS build failed due to compiler version mismatch Status in “dkms” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: == Comment: #0 - Dave Marquardt <davem...@us.ibm.com> - 2014-08-11 15:36:47 == ---Problem Description--- DKMS build for kernel module failed with this message: gcc-version-check failed: The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.8) does not exactly match the current compiler (gcc 4.9). The Linux 2.6 kernel module loader rejects kernel modules built with a version of gcc that does not exactly match that of the compiler used to build the running kernel. If you know what you are doing and want to override the gcc version check, you can do so by setting the IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH environment variable to "1". In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel.
