How I can install make 4.2 on "Amazon Linux AMI" ?
I try
sudo yum install devtoolset-7-make
but I receive a package not found
You should install the tools as specified here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/compile-software.html
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
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!

I haven't seen any yum packages for php 7.2 on AWS EC2 and the release has been out over a month.
I have tried yum list | grep php7 and only able see php70 and php71 packages.
Has anyone installed php72 on AWS EC2?
Is there another yum repo to connect to?
Does AWS have a delivery scheduled?
Although the #amzn-main repo doesn't have PHP 7.2 yet (as far as I know), you can use remi-php72. According to his release blog you can install the EPEL and Remi repositories via:
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-6.rpm
rpm -Uvh epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
And then enable remi-php72 using yum-config-manager:
yum install yum-utils
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php72
After that, you can simply search and install php and all the needed extensions like normal:
sudo yum install --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="remi,remi-php72" php php-fpm php-cli ...
As #Typel says in a comment on the other answer - if you're using Amazon Linux 2 AMI then
sudo amazon-linux-extras install -y php7.2
Beats installing multiple external repos and has most of th basics, including mariadb and vim (everything I need to feel happy!).
See the list: sudo amazon-linux-extras list
As soon as I do a successful yum install epel-release (epel-release-7-6 or epel-release-7-8) on a fresh Centos7 installation then any subsequent yum update or yum install end with the error message xz compression not available. I tried reinstalling a few times and I get the same problem. This is all happening in a chroot but I don t think it s relevant.
Please help :)
Installing pyliblzma before epel-release solves the problem for me. Remove epel-release if it already installed.
yum remove -y epel-release
yum install -y pyliblzma
yum install -y epel-release
I've been unsuccessfully searching for a way to install make utility on my CentOS 5.2. I've looked through some RPM repositories and online, with no avail. Installing gcc, gcc-c++ didn't help! Package build-essential is not made for CentOS/RHEL. I have RPMFORGE repo enabled in YUM.
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
or
yum install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
yum install make
also works.
I just double checked and CentOS 5.2 already includes make!
I found it also in one of the online mirrors, if it is easier for you:
http://centos.cogentcloud.com/5.2/os/i386/CentOS/make-3.81-3.el5.i386.rpm
if you installed the 64 bit version:
http://centos.cogentcloud.com/5.2/os/x86_64/CentOS/make-3.81-3.el5.x86_64.rpm
You'll need this if groupinstall doesn't work:
yum install -y gcc-c++ make
This command works for me
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" -y
