Thank you.

Hi Abhishek Thorat 

Please check the location /lib/modules/4.15.0-45-generic/build/include:/lib/modules/4.15.0-45-generic/build/arch/x86/include and confirm whether version.h is available in that place.

Hi Jasmin,

I had already checked the location for version.h file. It was not present at that location for which I had raised this question.

How do I fix this?

Thank you

Hi Abhishek,

You can install kernel headers by running the below command:


sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Alternatively if this does not work you can skip using Talpa and try Fanotify instead:

/opt/sophos-av/bin/savconfig set DisableFanotify false (Enables Fanotify)
/opt/sophos-av/bin/savconfig set PreferFanotify true (Makes changes persistent)
/etc/init.d/sav-protect restart (Needed for changes to apply)

From: https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/118216

Hi Abhishek Thorat 

MEric has suggested the correct way and also you can check the version.h in the system if it is stored any other location. Sometimes, you have the headers installed on the machine but the headers which it is looking for might not be available for the kernel version you have currently.

Hello all,

I'd recommend the linux-headers-generic metapackage

Christian

Hi MEric,

Thank you for your suggestion, but I am specifically trying to use Talpa. Also, Have tried out the command

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

but with no success.

Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi,

Can you please help me with this. How do I use this Metapackage?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Abhishek,

just specify the generic package instead of the specific kernel version:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install linux-generic

You still get the same error when trying to compile Talpa?

Christian
