linux/version.h not found

Hi,

 

I am trying to compile Talpa 1.11.0 on my Ubuntu 16.04 but getting an error as below

checking for kernel headers layout... /lib/modules/4.15.0-45-generic/build/include:/lib/modules/4.15.0-45-generic/build/arch/x86/include
checking for linux/version.h... configure: error: cannot proceed without the required header file

Any help in this is appreciated.

Thank you

  • Hi  

    Please provide the full talpaselect.log to get the exact error of why the header file is not in place.

    Thank you.

  • Hi  

    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  

     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
