This is a follow-up to
RHEL: This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules
I get the same error messages running /sbin/vboxconfig as over there.
I have the following:
pkg $ uname -r
4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64
pkg $ rpm -qa| grep kernel-devel
kernel-devel-4.18.0-193.19.1.el8_2.x86_64
So the devel package is for a subversion (pun intended) of the installed kernel. That version is installed when I do dnf install kernel-devel and I cannot install by the command suggested with $( uname -r).
What should I do to make this work?

Followed by reboot in case a new kernel gets installed should fix it for you.
helped: the reboot solved my problem, /sbin/vboxconfig ran smoothly afterwards.

I want to install VMware Workstation on Arch. I used the command yay -S vmware-workstation to install. After installation finished, I ran VMware, created an VM, started it, and got the error:
Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.
Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.
I tried to install linux-header but it still didn't work.
OS: Arch Linux, 5.10.56-1-lts.
Thanks for any help!
I ran into this problem too, and the solutions I found online ended up having their own problems that needed to be solve, which I'll document here.
To solve the error Could not open /dev/vmmon/: you need to run:
sudo vmware-mod-config --console --install-all
If this returns an error about Glib not having support, you need to clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git and make it.
$ git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git
$ cd vmware-host-modules
$ git checkout -b 16.2.1 origin/workstation-16.2.1
$ sudo make
If this returns an error containing fatal error: generated/autoconf.h: No such file or directory, you need to install linux-headers and make sure it matches your linux kernel version. Probably also make sure your kernel is up to date, although I'm not sure if that's necessary.
$ sudo pacman -S linux
$ sudo reboot
$ sudo pacman -S linux-headers
Now you should be able to make install in that cloned repo, which should install the required modules for you to be able to run the vmware-mod-config --console --install-all command, which should solve the issue.
So working backwards, the steps are:
Update your linux kernel and install the right linux-headers for it.
Clone this git repo, cd into it, git checkout -b 16.2.1 origin/workstation-16.2.1, and run sudo make install
Run sudo vmware-mod-config --console --install-all
More about can be found at my post here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2020372#p2020372
I also encountered same problem. Most of the stackoverflow pages suggest to reinstall the vmware but its not a fair solution and even its not a solution. Its just like if you have pain in teeth remove that teeth.
Another thing is that some post and even vmware official posts said to disable secure boot.
But after trying both nothing changed so i goto to cd /dev and found that the file vmmmon exists.
And when i tries to load the file it loaded successfully.
So from here i concluded that to solve this issue do the following:
Either disable the secure boot or sign the vmmon.
CD to /dev/
Load vmmon using modprobe
and as always Happy coding....
The command: sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all works, but every time that I reboot the system the error come out again.
In my case, the cause of this problem was the vmmon didn't be load. So I just
sudo modprobe -v vmmon
and it work.
I am trying to install virtualbox5.2 on a RHEL 7 VM When I try to rebuild kernels modules I get the following error:
[root#myserver~]# /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup
vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules.
Please install the Linux kernel "header" files matching the current kernel
for adding new hardware support to the system.
The distribution packages containing the headers are probably:
kernel-devel kernel-devel-3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64
I tried install kernet-devel and got success message
Installed:
kernel-devel.x86_64 0:3.10.0-693.21.1.el7
Complete!
But still the setup fails.
Any idea what is missing here?
sudo yum install -y "kernel-devel-$(uname -r)"
Substitute dnf on Fedora. I didn't need to do a reboot, but ymmv.
Edit for 2020:
Centos/RHEL 8 now also use dnf instead of yum. I haven't had occasion to test this on those distros, so the same YMMV disclaimer still applies.
First run in terminal: uname -r then you will get name and information about current kernel (CURRENT_KERNEL).
Now you can install with command: yum install kernel-devel-CURRENT_KERNEL
Note: replace CURRENT_KERNEL with string you get from uname -r.
The same message happened when I tried to upgrade VirtualBox 5.2.12 Guest Additions on my Kali Linux (GNU/Linux Rolling version). I fixed it by following steps:
Do apt update/upgrade to keep your system up-to-date. Do not forget to reboot the system.
Run "apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)".
Run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run from terminal, error message gone and Guest Additions will be installed successfully.
Reboot system, Guest Additions works fine.
I got here looking for the same answer for CentOS 6, and the above answers worked with slight modification (so, for anyone else that lands here too)...
yum install -y kernel-devel kernel-devel-$(uname -r)
So, "yum" instead of "apt-get"
Also, some Linux use "linux-headers" instead of "kernel-devel" but the principle seems to be the same.
The kernel your were using was kernel-devel-3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64 is slightly different with the one that you installed kernel-devel.x86_64 0:3.10.0-693.21.1.el7 . In my case, there are several different version installed on my OS, and "sudo yum install kernel-devel" always install the newest one for me. Then I work it out by setting my default kernel version as same as yum installed for me. You can check the kernel you have installed on your OS by following command:
sudo awk -F\' '$1=="menuentry " {print i++ " : " $2}' /etc/grub2.cfg
Then just set the kernel version you choose to use as same as yum choose for you,by following command:(notice that the number at last is pick up from preceding command result),
sudo grub2-set-default 0
generate the grub2 config with 'gurb2-mkconfig' command, and then reboot the server.
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
sudo reboot
Milan Rakos is right. Your installed kernel-devel must have suffix string exactly the same as the uname -r output. Besides, the logs during the vboxdrv.sh setup also shows the wanted version of the kernel-devel.
So to your case, You will run the command:sudo yum install kernel-devel-3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64
to solve this problem I ran yum update -y. I think this is the fastest way to solve it. Another solution is to configure the repos with the installation DVD, so you can install the kernel-headers of your current version of CentOS.
My History:
yum install epel-release
yum install perl gcc dkms kernel-devel kernel-headers make bzip2
yum groupinstall "Development tools"
yum update -y
reboot
After that, I mount de VBoxGuestAdditions and I ran the process
yum install kernel-devel-3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64 fixed the issue.
A little late to the party but I just ran into this problem myself and here's what I did to resolve the issue.
yum update -y
yum install -y redhat-lsb-core net-tools kernel-headers kernel-devel epel-release
yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools"
reboot
Ensure your system has been fully updated when you ran yum update -y before continuing!
Cheers
Background:
I created a sandbox VM with VirtualBox on my macOS. It correctly spins up a VM (with CentOS7 running on it) on which I can access to.
Inside this sandbox vm, I want to spin up several vms in order to test Ansible Playbooks with Kitchen CI & Vagrant, thus I installed VirtualBox by downloading it from the following link: https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.8/VirtualBox-5.2-5.2.8_121009_el7-1.x86_64.rpm
After the installation I executed the command:
[david#vmkitchen-env ansible-test]# VBoxManage --version
It returned:
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (3.10.0-693.2.1.el7.x86_64) or it
failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it
by
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
5.2.8r121009
I installed the Development tools, but I keep getting the same issue.
I don't think I need to recompile any kernel module. Any idea?
Thanks in advance for your help.
So, after searching on the internet, and not just on the VirtualBox website, I found the solution, and I was right: I did not need to compile any module.
The following is the reference to the CentOS wiki page:
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Virtualization/VirtualBox
In a few words, I had to install dkms and kernel-devel packages. In order to do so, I needed to install EPEL repository; but personally I prefer to install and enable the IUS repository.
The following are the set of commands that worked for me:
yum groupinstall "Development tools"
yum install https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
yum install dkms
yum install kernel-devel
reboot
After the machine had rebooted, I was able to get VirtualBox working fine.
I verified by the command line:
[david#vmkitchen-env ansible-test]# VBoxManage --version
And it returned the correct value:
5.2.8r121009
Below steps fixed the issue for me.
1.sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.

4.yum localinstall kernel-devel-3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64.rpm -y
5.sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
Issue resolved
On Fedora 36, I only had to run
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
I need to install php-imap on amazon ec2 linux 2 instance.
All the php stuff is inside amzn2extra-lamp-mariadb10.2-php7.2 but php-imap package is missing.
Any advice ?
Thanks
I installed it like this.
I downloaded the php source code of the currently installed version in my Amazon Linux 2
wget http://php.net/get/php-7.2.8.tar.bz2/from/a/mirror
Unpacked it and went into php-7.2.8/ext/imap/
Compiled extension:
phpize
./configure
I got some errors.
Some U8T_CANONICAL stuff so
sudo yum install libc-client-devel
Then libc-client.a not found so created a symlink for it:
cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libc-client.a
some other imap library error so:
sudo yum install uw-imap-static
I got some other errors so the working configure line was:
./configure --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl
make
SUCCESS!
cd php-7.2.8/ext/imap/modules
sudo cp imap.so /usr/lib64/php/modules/
Created an ini file to load it:
sudo vi /etc/php.d/30-imap.ini
added to the file this content:
extension=imap
restarted php service (you might need to restart httpd depending on your php installation):
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm
PHPinfo now contains:
imap
IMAP c-Client Version 2007f
SSL Support enabled
Kerberos Support enabled
For those who are facing the U8T_CANONICAL error and can't being able to install the libc-client-devel on Amazon Linux 2 AMI need to do something extra to resolve the U8T_CANONICAL error.
The main problem is that libc-client-devel isn't available so we need to do it in another way.
I found this link while searching for my problem. The solution that is posted here is solid. The following link that i gave is for those who are not being able to install the libc-client-devel will be benifited from the link.
Or you could just copy paste the commands i'm giving below.
1 - sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
2 - sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel
3 - yum install epel-release
4 - sudo yum install libc-client-devel uw-imap-static openssl-devel
5 - sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libc-client.a /usr/lib
The rest can be followed from respondent.
Again thanks to the person who answered.
Same problem here.
I came from debian/ubuntu and i miss a lot of php packages on aws linux2.
I know it's still a candidate and not a final LTS release. Only worked for a month with this distro and saw a lot of changes and updates. Some php dependencies can be solved with pear or pecl, but I couldn't get nothing working on php-imap.
php-imap depends on libc-client (maybe that's a problem?)
Here is my solution.
Search for the libc-client rpm that correspond to your version and
install manually.
Search for the rpm that corresponds to your php installed version. In my case it was 7.2.5**-2** about 2 weeks ago. (today is
7.2.5**-3** ) and isntall manually
CODE
wget https://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/CentOS/7/x86_64//php72u-imap-7.2.5-2.ius.centos7.x86_64.rpm -P /tmp
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/l/libc-client-2007f-16.el7.x86_64.rpm -P /tmp

rpm -i /tmp/php72u-imap-7.2.5-2.ius.centos7.x86_64.rpm
If it fails because Failed dependencies:
rpm -ivh /tmp/php72u-imap-7.2.5-2.ius.centos7.x86_64.rpm --nodeps
I dont like this solution, but can't find for now any other solution more stable and easy. It will be a pain with updates....
I am looking into deploying a Django project on a shared server running Apache. This is my first time doing this. I have a shared folder on the server for my work and I have been added to the sudo group so I can install new software.
How do I check via Terminal command line if mod_wsgi is already installed? and preferably what version it is?
I can ssh onto the server, the version of Apache is
$ apache2 -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)
Server built: Jul 12 2013 13:37:10
$
Any help is much appreciated.
EDIT:
Just for future reference, after I ran the command $ dpkg -s libapache2-mod-wsgi provided by Dirk Eschler it showed me that it was not installed. It returned
Package `libapache2-mod-wsgi' is not installed and no info is available.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
Hope this helps someone else.
To check if it is installed:
$ dpkg -s libapache2-mod-wsgi
In case it is installed, you might check if it's loaded by Apache:
$ apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_MODULES
Though you are on Ubuntu.
This might help someone else on CentOS, Fedora or Red Hat
rpm -q mod_wsgi
Since you're on Ubuntu, which is Debian-based, you can look in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled.
if you working with python in Red Hat
search this for mod_wsgi installed or not yum search python3-mod_wsgi
or search this for module is loaded or not rpm -q python3-mod_wsgi
